X-Calibre, in the author's defense, his next paragraph refers to them as arachnids.
Also I don't know if there is anything else behind him saying insects because he is not referring to modern day scorpions but an ancestor of them. Maybe they were technically classified as insects. I'm not sure though, google wasn't very helpful on this.
Y'know, I've heard all the arguments and have certainly reaped the benefits of this kind of research in my lifetime, but deliberately infecting other ANYTHINGS with toxins or diseases still makes me feel like crap.
