Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It is a cool guide, but this one should really come with a list of exceptions. Assuming there are big pincered highly venomous scorpions.
For anyone curious, yes, there are exceptions for human contact, but mostly due to human physiology. More venomous does not mean more potent.
The rule could be considered true in that larger pincers hold longer allowing weaker venom to take action in prey.
But for humans, we react differently to different venom, so some scorpions with larger pincers can be more dangerous.
There are big pincer with big tail scorpions that are mildly venomous. I'm not sure about the other direction because the only ones I'm willing to handle are emperor scorpions. That may be because I found a striped bark scorpion in my shoe the hard way when I was a kid, though. That wasn't a good day.
