Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Vinegaroons are also known as Whipscorpions which look similar to scorpions but aren't true scorpions.
  • The whipscorpions have oversized pincers for catching prey and a long slender whip-like tail which is just a sensory structure to detect vibrations or odors.
  • The whip scorpion, unlike the true scorpions, does not sting or produce any venom.
  • Thus, unlike the pincers of scorpions, the whip tail of vinegaroons is just a sensory structure and not its mimic.
