My man, I'm pretty sure that's highly venomous...I'd be careful

The inverse law of scorpions. The bigger the scorpion, the safer(less venomous) it tends to be.

(Idk how true that is, i'd probably keep as much space between myself and scorpions of any size tbh)

That's where I got that. I was looking at a small black widow and wasn't sure.

Try getting bit by a spider of the Poecilotheria, Heteroscodra or Pterinochilus genus and see if that's going to change your mind about small and big being painful and mild respectively
