Wimpy Cobras!!! Just TRY and get by me and my pet Scorpions!!!
True enough.
I was lucky enough to attend a 'fight of the century' between a humongous hunting spider and a scorpion in the boondocks of Belize a few years back. The spider had a leg spread (front to back) of at least 5" and the scorpion was about 4" long and black. At the big event, we place the two jars together and slid out the cardboard - the scorpion trashed the spider in seconds. All the spider did was run around and gesticulate 'No mas! No mas!' until the scorpion had done it's sewing machine imitation on it about 20 times.
Scorpions are the true bad boys of the insect world.
