' A European yellow-tailed scorpion (euscorpius flavicaudis) colony has lived in the wall of Sheerness Dockyard for over 150 years and is now thought to number ten to fifteen thousand. They are small - adults are 35–45 mm (1.4–1.8 in) long, with a rarely used, very mild sting, said to be less than the sting of a wasp or bee. This colony is said to be the most northerly of scorpions outside of America.
