Scorpions

Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs and are easily recognized by the pair of grasping pedipalps and the narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back, ending with a venomous stinger.
From Wiki
Apart from snakes, scorpions have also been  of great interest to me. So a lot of combined snake and scorpion catching missions were made by me. You can see this in the cover of my book, The Chronicles of the Mexican Horse Thief,  that I designed and drew.
