For her new book Nests: Fifty Nests and the Birds that Built Them, San Francisco photographer Sharon Beals took this fantastic photo above of a nest of Caspian Terns. The terns, which nests in colonies near oceans, build their nests not out of twigs but out of seashells.

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.
