The giant vinegaroon is a large, harmless-to-people relative of the scorpion, known for the vinegar smell it gives off when threatened. It lives in the southern United States and Mexico, where it hunts insects and other small creatures at night. It is useful to people because it eats scorpions and other pests.1

It is not venomous. From the base of its tail it sprays a liquid made of 85% acetic acid, the main component of vinegar. If the spray gets into mucous membranes or cuts, it can sting, and it can irritate the eyes.1

Dintlha

Its common name 'vinegaroon' comes from the vinegar smell of the acid it sprays.1

It is an efficient predator of scorpions, and it is sometimes bought for that purpose.1

Males fight each other at night in fierce battles for the chance to mate with a female.1

It has eight eyes, but they are very weak, so it finds its way mostly by feeling with its front legs, tail and pedipalps.1

Raccoons, coatis, armadillos, skunks, bears, roadrunners, lizards and tarantulas may all eat it.1

It is sold in the exotic animal trade as a pet.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: Giant vinegaroons are dangerous and venomous to people.

Nnete: They are non-venomous and seldom bite or pinch people. The main risk is the acid spray, which can irritate the eyes or sting if it reaches cuts or mucous membranes.1
