I believe the answer is:

scorpion

(Other definitions for scorpion that I've seen before include "Stinging creature" , "Animal with a sting in its tail" , "Venemous creature" , "Kind of spider with pincers and stinging tail" , "Poisonous thing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
