Paravaejovis Spinigerus
''Paravaejovis spinigerus'', commonly known as the stripe-tailed scorpion or devil scorpion, is a species of scorpion in the family Vaejovidae. It is found in the south-western United States and north-western Mexico. Description ''Paravaejovis spinigerus'' is a medium-sized scorpion with large adult males and females reaching nearly 60–70 mm, weighing approximately 9.5 g. It can be differentiated from the Arizona bark scorpion (''Centruroides sculpturatus'') by the brownish-tan stripes on the back of its tail along the keels or ridges; the tail is typically thicker than the hands and pedipalps, both of which are quite slender in the bark scorpions. Some others may have a base color of light yellow/golden brown with variable underlying ducky markings along its tail. The name ''spinigerus'' is derived from the spiniform granules at the ends of the dorsal keels of the tail. ''Paravaejovis spinigerus'' was formerly classified in the genus '' Hoffmannius'' prior to 2013. ...

Scorpion
Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back and always ending with a stinger. The evolutionary history of scorpions goes back 435 million years. They mainly live in deserts but have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions, and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. There are over 2,500 described species, with 22 extant (living) families recognized to date. Their taxonomy is being revised to account for 21st-century genomic studies. Scorpions primarily prey on insects and other invertebrates, but some species hunt vertebrates. They use their pincers to restrain and kill prey, or to prevent their own predation. The venomous sting is used for offense and defense. During courtship, the male and female grasp each other's pincers and dance while he tries to move her onto his s ...
