I'm not sure I see scorpion as civla, since i have always thought of
them as bloodsucking.  I can extend them to include aphids, which
'bloodsuck' plants, at least to a lay person, and similar plant parasites.
But I think of scorpiomns as more like either spiders or bees.  They sting,
not suck.  (if my biology is wrong, it probably is no worse than the
average lay Lojbanist).
