Scorpion Sting

Scorpion Sting
 I hide in the dark.
 With a sting, be alert.
 I can vanish in the light.
 I hunt in the night.
 I can draw some blood.
 The anguish is just enough.
 I am manipulative.
 Don’t touch, with temptation.
 I know that I’m kinda creepy.
 At night it’s time to feed.
 Don’t hesitate to attack.
 I could be brown or black.
 You're all unforgiven in the end.
 Through haunting methods, I will feed again.
 I’m just a bug with pitchers.
 All have you for dinner.
 Don’t underestimate me.
 I live through the rain.
 I can crawl here and there.
 With a sting, I am everywhere.
 Your flesh is a bite to eat.
 I will be next to your feet.
 I live underground.
 I will appear with no sound
