Anatomy of the scorpion
The telson and pedipalps are the parts of the scorpion anatomy owners should be most aware of, as these comprise the main weapons of scorpion.Telson - specially modified segment at the tip of the "tail" that contains the venom gland (i.e. the "stinger").Pedipalps - the second pair of appendages on an arachnid, which arise near the mouth parts and have specialized hunting, defensive, reproductive, or sensory functions. In scorpions, these are the appendages that carry the chelae, or "claws." The scorpion might have certain body parts that you don't know of. The picture on the right might help you with that.
