There’s a podcast called Ologies that actually does a deep dive on scorpions (I think the episode was called Scorpiology) but basically the smaller the pincers, the more potent its venom needs to be to immobilize prey.

Worth a listen if you want to nerd out a bit. Great way to pass time on long car rides
