Sting in the tail
Doing some gardening and noticed movement on the ground which I thought was a spider but it turned out to be a cousin, a scorpion, one of the over 29 species of 6 genera that are found in Australia. This one is one of the smaller species only being around 3cm in length, however even though small they are known to have a very painful sting, but not likely to cause serious injury.
