Lacrau comes from the Arabic al-’aqrab. Lacrau is an invertebrate arthropod animal (with legs formed by several segments) that belongs to the order Scorpiones and is classified in the class of arachnids. Lacrau (Buthus occitanus) is the only scorpion in Portugal. It is distributed throughout the national territory, from Trás-os-Montes to the Algarve, and is often found in arid areas, with rocks exposed to the sun.
