And new Scorpion looks like real Scorpion so let's rename it in Scorpion.
And providence looks like giant cocroach, I broke my monitor last night while undocking in Jita.
But the biggest question is why Scorpion (insect) with another skin color is called Widow (arachnid?) and even Rattlesnake (snake, animal).
This is RACISM and I'm gonna appeal to the Hague tribunal.

Actually both the widow and scorpion are arachnids. Rattlesnakes are reptiles, and all three are animals.
What they all have in common is that they're poisonous and even considered deadly to men. So the naming scheme does make some sense.

I'm pretty sure I learnt the difference between insects (6 legs) and arachnids (8 legs) when I was in primary school.
Were you off sick that day?

Scorpions are predatory arthropod animals of the order Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. Were you off school that day?

Pretty sure they're not poisonous, i.e. they don't cause poisoning when you try to eat them. They are, however, venemous and cause poisoning when they try to eat you!
