Scorpions are related to spiders and a form of arachnid. They differ by being of thinner build ,but with a tail and modified front legs. The tail ends in a stinger that delivers toxins into potential prey. The front legs are modified into pincers for grabbing and in if need by slicing apart prey. A rule of thumb is the smaller the pincers the more poisonous the toxin. A strange quirk of their exoskeletons is in many types of scorpion, it shows up as a bluish colour under UV light.
