Egyptians Scorpions

Scorpions   are arachnids and have eight legs like their cousins—spiders, mites, and ticks. They can quickly grab an insect with their pincers and whip their telson, the poisonous tip of their segmented tail forward and sting their prey. They use their poison not only to kill prey, but also to defend themselves from predators.

Scorpions look like small lobsters and are believed to be the first animals to move from water to land hundreds of millions of years ago. They had gills instead of  lungs. These hardy, adaptable arthropods have been around since before the age of the dinosaurs, and they are nothing if not survivors.
