A very thorough and well-written article. The only comment I'd make is that you describe the inverse relationship between a scorpion's sting size and its potency twice. This seems like you're belabouring the point, which really doesn't need belabouring.

Oh, did I say that twice? Sorry, I rewrote part of the scorpion section, must have missed a bit.

Good. Thank you. If you are scared, you probably don't want me to send a scorpion round to your place...

A couple of things...
1) Spelling - it should be centimetre, not centimeter.
2) Vinegaroon section, Tarantula?! subsection - Lycosa tarantula: should be tarentula
3) Pseudoscorpion section, Mating subsection - 'strings' has been misspelt as 'stings.'
Finally, there is a little bit I would like to add to the end of the Scorpions section...
Holy Scorpions
The scorpion is one of the few invertebrates to have been worshipped as a god. In ancient Egypt, scorpions were associated with the goddess Isis. This is likely to be because scorpions carry their young around on their backs for so long, and Isis was the archetype of a devoted mother.
Interestingly, Isis was also associated with the star Sirius. Guess which constellation Sirius is in? That's right - Scorpio!
