Scorpions cannot accidentally kill themselves. Their venom has no effect on the scorpion or any other scorpion of the same family.

The belief that scorpions sting themselves to death to commit suicide when confronted by fire, or other life threatening situations is a myth and completely false. The misconception may have been founded from the way in which scorpions react to intense heat. As scorpions are cold blooded animals (poikilotherms), when they are exposed to intense heat, their metabolic process malfunction, causing the scorpion to spasm wildly. This can appear as if the scorpion is stinging itself.

It is also untrue that alcohol will cause scorpions to sting themselves to death.

Excellent!, only one little thing, A scorpion can kill another scorpion from the same species or family. A scorpion is immune to its own venom ONLY.

Possibly accidently. However, putting alcohol on a scorpion will cause it to sting itself to death.

A scorpion's stinger still contains toxins even after death so it can potentially kill you if you are accidently stung by it.

What summer cnstellation is half man and half scorpion?

There is no such constellation or creature in Greek mythology. The "Scorpion Man" is an Akkadian myth.The only Scorpion in the sky is that of Scorpius (Scorpio), which is just a plain scorpion. In myth, it was sent either by Artemis or Apollo to kill Orion after he boasted that he could kill any creature on earth.In versions where Artemis sends it, the two kill each other but the battle was so lively that it caught Zeus' attention and he placed both in the sky.In the version where Apollo sends it, the Scorpion is actually created by Gaia at Apollo's request and subsequently killed by the skilled Hunter (who was later accidentally killed by Artemis) and placed in the heavens by Apollo.
