Scorpion
The scorpion is fierce looking and scary, with sharp pincers on its claws, and a sharp stinger at the end of its tail. The scorpions on Kythera can cause a lot of pain, but won’t do any permanent damage. Scorpions sting only in self-defense, especially when pressure is applied from above, which is a good reason to wear shoes around the house.
