I'm illustrating this Christmas holiday greeting with a tweet from The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, using a Heterometrus scorpion as an example of a "dangerous" Christmas present for children. Even though the purpose is well meant, this doesn't improve the image of scorpions in the general public. But it is also a little funny as I guess quite a few of you reading this blog would have loved to get a scorpion gift! :)

Thanks to Matt Simon for sending me the tweet!

I wish you all Merry Chistmas and a Happy New Scorpion Year!

Best wishes
