 Stinger (organ) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stinger (or sting) is a common term for a sharp organ or body part found in various animals and plants that usually delivers some kind of venom (usually piercing the skin of another animal) or an electric shock.
A poisonous stinger differs from other piercing organs in that it pierces by its own action, as opposed to e.g., teeth, which pierce by the force of jaws, or thorns, which pierce by the action of the victim.
The main type of construction of stingers is a sharp organ of offense or defense, especially when connected with a poison gland, and adapted to inflict a wound by piercing; as the caudal sting of a scorpion.
