i came to see a fight >:(

[samhedin]

if u see a scorpion call plant inspection. if u see a tree call the bug exterminator

[DonTBeABichBoutIT]

in all ma life i have not seen those on guam...

[hordichuck]

your all as per usual with youtube commentators, wrong. the tail is the only fail safe indicator as to venom potency. fat tail thin pincers venomous, big claws thin tail weak venom. end of chat children

@TheCubanassasin that has to do with adaptation and evolution not indiana jones

[TheCubanassasin]

Hmm take of the vs sign ^_~

@roughrider1111 No that is incorrect im sorry. It is completley true that you can roughly judge a scorpions potency by its pinscor size, the smaller the pinscors, the more potent the venom. If a scorpion has large pinscors it has less need for stronger venom as it is able to kill its prey by strength. reversly a scorpion with small weak looking pincsors, is going to have a need for a potent venom sting

@roughrider1111 wrong the smaller the pinscors the stronger the venom to make us for its reduced strength in its claws and bigger the claws the weaker the venom that like staying taller people are stronger then smaller people
