Florida Giant Vinegaroon (Mastigoproctus floridanus) - 2-2.5" body (Adult WC)

A living fossil that sprays vinegar instead of stinging you Mastigoproctus floridanus, the Florida Giant Vinegaroon, is a big, dark whip scorpion built like something out of the fossil record: a heavy body, thick grabbing pedipalps, and a long tail-like flagellum trailing behind it. It is Florida's own species, split off from the wider M. giganteus complex in 2018, and it comes with a genuine party trick. Corner one and it aims that tail and sprays concentrated acetic acid, real vinegar, straight at the threat. At 2 to 2.5 inches it is a slow, deliberate, oddly graceful predator that looks far scarier than it is.
