0010215: Tail stingers are larger than the tail they are attached to
Stingers have four times the relative size of standard tails.
Check body_default.txt in objects folder and compare [BODY:TAIL] with [BODY:TAIL_STINGER].
This is possibly intended to make stings deadlier, so a change might not be necessary.

Yes, stingers have four times bigger size than the tail in body_default.txt of 0.43.05. While in real world stingers are, say, for scorpions, smaller than the tail they are on, as you note, though, in DF this can easily be an intended difference.
