BTW...i rike the bold part

Form 1: Some families of scorpion including the Buthidae contain the most medically important species in the world. They are readily recognised by having a combination of tiny hands and arms (pedipalps) and a comparatively large tail (metasoma), which they almost always have arched above their body ready for action.
These scorpions are opportunistic, which basically means they take advantage of the benefits of itinerancy. Many do not occupy a burrow home or rock scrape at all, instead they move about. However, some will have more of a fixed home base, but these are in the minority. One thing they all have in common is that they actively wander about seeking prey. They do not use the sit and wait method utilised by Form 2 scorpions, at least not in the same way. There is a major distinction. These scorpions when out foraging DO NOT have a home base to take their catch to, they consume their prey where it was located.

Form 2: Other families, including the Australian endemic Urodacidae or Liochelidae, include those forms with relatively large pedipalps. These forms usually have a metasoma of more acceptable proportions, it is rarely unusually large as it is in the Buthids. We might have the opposite extreme as is the case with the Liochelidae, where the pedipalps are disproportionately large and the metasoma disproportionately small. Just what is going on here?

These are the true sit and wait predators of the scorpion world, they are often stable in their selection of a home base, rarely moving far from their initial place of dispersal. They occupy permanent burrows or rock scrapes and either catch prey at the home base or very near to it. When a prey item is captured it is normally taken into the safety of the burrow or rock scrape for consumption.

I told that to the guy who wan2 clip a AFS telson during the pets world day

Exception to Hemiscorpius lepturus, this particular scorp have cytotoxic venom instead of neurotoxic which can cause serious wounds and inflammations (somtimes the wounds will look like 3. degree burns with necrosis and blisters). These wounds are slow and difficult to heal. The effect of the venom is very similar to the bite of the Brown Recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa). No antivenom is available for this scorpion.
