This was a really enjoyable puzzle, there were some subtleties that led to me making a mistake midway through but that was just a silly oversight, the puzzle really was a delight to solve.
Thanks :D

I don't know if it was really needed, but I stumbled in to a pretty neat logic midway through the puzzle which was just so rewarding. Basically solved the arrows.
Anyway, a lovely 2^puzzle for me.

我本来应该很快解决的，但在八那里，一直忘了4+4也是等于8。所以推理一直自相矛盾，我还以为是自己前面做错了，检查一遍又一遍，发现没错。最后才知道，这不是杀手数独框，4+4是可以等于8的…

The puzzle overall is not that difficult but couple of times I got stuck just not seeing a super-obvious bit of logic. So, 3* for me. Agree with one of the commenters - though arrows are not my favourite, this one was extremely engaging. Thank you!

I am usually not the biggest fan of arrow Sudokus, but this one was exceptionally fun! Super nice flow and no tedious calcs.

I did not expect the break in but it flowed so beautifully as the scorpions unravelled. Great setting.

Twice this summer I have put my shoes on only to discover a scorpion in my shoe. Twin Scorpions. In my shoes. And now in Sudoku. I am happy to have defeated them all! Nice puzzle, thanks!
