Google says scorpions in Tuscany & Italy are small, black & not poisonous. They do sting but it's similar to a wasp sting.
I think I'm right in saying that no European species are particularly poisonous but they can sting.

A typical way to tell is by their pincers.
Big pincers: focal weapon/defence is their pincers.
Small pincers: focal weapon/defence is their stinger.
Judging by the photo it's a yellow tailed scorpion (could be wrong), and if so it's not usually a threat. It rarely uses its sting, but if it does its no worse than a bee sting.

These two really remind me of a couple of fans seated near me at The Amex.
To sting people who mix up the fact they they are venomous rather than poisonous?

Do all insects, bugs have "points?" Could they just exist? I will never see the point of my sister-in-law.

I'm no Arachnida anorak, but that is either a scorpion or some kind of alien life form. I mean, what ELSE on the planet looks like that?
