It’s not necessarily the size of the scorpion, it’s the size of the scorpion’s pincers. If a scorpion has large claws compared to their body, they can more easily hold onto their prey; a scorpion with small claws needs to be able to stop its prey quickly, or the prey will get away. This trend seems to hold true for most scorpions. Big claws, less venom; small claws, more venom.
The problem arises when people can’t tell the difference between, and the age of, scorpions. At the end of the day it’s just easier to tell people to watch out for the small ones, instead of trying to get people to know the difference between every variety in the area.
