It just looks scary. That "stinger" is actually its sex organ.

So instead of stinging you it rapes you? Yeah, that sounds much better.

Tell us how you would rate that.

From the Wikipedia article:

"Larger H. apicalis give prey the size of houseflies in return for 20 to 29 minutes of copulation."

AWW YEAH.

this is how societies start...with prostitution. I'm betting that when the human race dies out like the dinosaurs did, scorpions will be the next alpha species.

Reminds me of the mantis fly, which looks like the love child of a mantis and a wasp.

I know the guy who created this. I'm sure he will be glad to know that it is still popping up at random times.

For anyone interested, my wife's advisor keeps a bunch of scorpions in his lab and they're badass. Really pretty impressive creatures. Let me find a camera pic somewhere.....

Keep a beer on hand as protection from scorpions. When you poor some drops of alcohol on them, they commit suicide.

It's funny how users that submit reposts usually don't comment anything. They remind me of my dog when he pees inside the house...he just stares at me with a sad face...because he knows what he did.
