You know the perils of angering a woman and you may fear the speed of her strike but she's got nothin' on a deathstalker scorpion, the most venomous scorpion in the world. You really don't have much of a chance with this scorpion since its strike is so blinding fast and that drew the scientists to watch.
Note: if not for Doctor Phil and reality shows on television, the scientists might not do this but you gave them no choice for finding something interesting on TV. They aren't bad people, tho.
You have the chance right now to look at Kim Kardashian or scorpions but you chose the deathstalker. I rest my case.

You see that deathstalker beauty now but we don't quite get the Escherian portrayal. Will these deathstalker scorpions spend the rest of their dangerous days wandering through an impossible maze. We don't get it.
A new study into the sting of the world’s deadliest scorpion, the deathstalker, shows its piercing tail in all its horrifying glory.
A new study from a research team at the University of Porto, Portugal, examined seven of the almost 2,500 species of scorpion around the world to determine how their different shape and size impacted the prowess of their venomous strike.

The only rule the Rockhouse ever learned about scorpions is an important one: the little ones will fuck you up; the big ones not so much. Note: the deathstalker is tiny.
Sure you want to see him and the deathstalker attacks a mouse which shows you the speed of the strike and how fast it can repeat them. The video does not show the mouse dying and we didn't want to see that anyway but we do see how it has no chance from the speed at which it is attacked.
The video also shows the relative sizes of these creatures since the deathstalker really is miniscule.
There are almost 2,500 species of scorpions in the world, and many differ in the shape and size of their venomous tail. The reasons for this large variation in tail shape are often not known. While scorpions sting their insect prey slowly and precisely, they defend themselves from attackers with a fast and swooping strike of their tail. The defensive strike may therefore be the more demanding behaviour that a scorpion performs with its tail. In this study we measured the strike speed of scorpions for the first time. We also investigated if there are differences in the arc that the stinger, which sits at the end of the tail, describes during such a defensive strike.

This science really hasn't elevated my scientific cockles all that much but it has emphasized the original rule: if it's a small scorpion then get the hell away from it.
Much as I hate to break any hearts, you won't find the deathstalker in America since this loving li'l arachnid only lives in the Middle East and North Africa. (WIKI: Deathstalker)
