Size and immunity to vennom is not always a direct relationship.  Some small 
animals are immune to snake bites, etc.  That's why I asked about spiders and 
parrots ... tho I seriously doubt parrots are immune ... sigh ...
As an aside, I just learned that the smaller the scorpion the more potent the 
venom.
