A scorpion bomb is exactly as it sounds. It is believed that its first use was in 198 AD by the people of Mosul, Iraq to fight back Roman invaders.
The actual scorpion bomb consisted of a terracotta vessel roughly the size of Bowling ball. The vessel was then filled with scorpions and sealed. The "bomb" could then be thrown at the invaders. The vessel would break and several very irritated scorpions would go to work.
There are several references that you can check out if you are still interested in more information. National Geographic ran an article on them at one time. You can also check out a really interesting book titled Greek Fire, Poison Arrows & Scorpion Bombs that was written by Adrienne Mayor.
