Scorpions can be identified by the following characteristics:

  • A segmented body
  • The presence of eight legs
  • Color that ranges between reddish-brown, yellow, blue, and black
  • A segmented, erected tail that ends in a stinger
  • Two claws at the front go their body

Are scorpions dangerous?

While getting stung by a scorpion is generally nonlethal, they are still venomous nonetheless. Common symptoms of a scorpion sting include pain, numbness, and localized swelling. In serious cases, people may experience difficulty breathing and vomiting along with other severe reactions. Severe reactions are typically more common in children and older adults, but they can happen to anyone. If you experience a scorpion sting and experience any severe symptoms, be sure to seek medical care as soon as possible.
