Scientific name: order: scorpiones
Scorpions are arachnids found all over the world except for New Zealand. They live in all kinds of areas, from rainforests to deserts and can vary in size from a few centimetres to a few inches long. They are related to the spider. All scorpions are venomous, but only some scorpions are big enough and poisonous enough to kill a person.

When you get an itch, you usually have an urge to scratch it. Itches are best scratched with something fairly sharp, like your fingernails or a twig. If you scratch yourself too hard it can break your skin and make you bleed.
