Description
The Order Scorpiones, commonly known for their potent stingers, often conjures up images of fearsome predators. Interestingly, not all scorpions are deadly; many species possess venom that is only effective against their smaller prey. A common misconception is that scorpions will attack humans unprovoked. In reality, they are generally reclusive and only sting when threatened. Furthermore, scorpions are fascinating creatures that have existed for over 400 million years, making them one of the oldest land animals on Earth. Their resilience and adaptability continue to intrigue scientists around the world.
