A scorpion packs its poison in a stinger at the tip of its tail. Most often it uses its poison to kill insects and other small prey. But it also stings to defend itself.
About 1500 species of scorpions live around the world. But fewer than 50 are dangerous to people. And just two of those species live in the United States - both in Arizona.The common yellow scorpion, lives in Northern Africa. No one knows how many people die from its sting, but it's one of the world's most deadly scorpions
