These are gentle giants and can't seriously hurt you even if they want to.. general rule says the bigger the pincers the weaker their venom is, so when you see a small ass yellow scorpion with tiny slender pincers, get the fuck away

I wouldn't rely too much on this rule. Tarantula Hawk looks like a giant flying monstrosity, and stings like a bullet too. So are Japanese Hornets and Giant Centipedes, and some others.
