Literally!
The whole Parabuthus genus are able to flick venom with good accuracy,but it a uncommon sight.
But it is not uncommon to see dropplets that are ready to spray!
So with that said here are some P.transvallicus shots.

That is something I never knew scorps to be able to do either. Is it sorta the same as spitting cobra venmon then if it hits the eyes?? That's what I'm guessing they are flicking it at when they do??? How toxic are they?
