Pincer-wielding arachnid
A scorpion is an arachnid with a segmented tail ending in a venomous stinger, found mainly in warm climates.
Scorpions have pincers like crabs and sting prey or threats by curving the tail over the body.
The sting is painful to humans and occasionally dangerous.
Scorpius, the scorpion constellation, is one of the zodiac signs.
