How to Treat an Insect Sting

Scorpion sting! Check out this video of one of our new Hentz striped scorpions catching a cricket. These scorpions aren’t lethal to humans, but their venom is strong enough to cause serious pain for hours after a strike. Visit our tiny new scorpions in the Social Animals Wing under the tree trunk. Look closely, these scorpions can be hard to spot! Video from herp/aquarium caretaker Liam. #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #Scorpion #Invertebrates | Rosamond Gifford Zoo

the southern devil scorpion is 1 of 2 of alabamas native scorpions. scorpions often times when stinging prey will grab it first and feel for a joint to insert their stinger, with that being said thus sting didn’t even pierce my skin nor did it hurt. while i lost the fear of being stung by this species i did not lost respect for them in the process of gaining this knowledge. if skin is broken however it can be best compared to a bee sting according to the pain threshold guy. 🙃 * * * * #scorpion
