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). lojbab
