   note: scorpions have a flattened body, and a long, slender
         post-abdomen formed of six movable segments, the last
         of which terminates in a curved venomous sting. the
         venom causes great pain, but is unattended either with
         redness or swelling, except in the axillary or inguinal
         glands, when an extremity is affected. it is seldom if
         ever destructive of life. scorpions are found widely
         dispersed in the warm climates of both the old and new
         worlds.
