Home >Debates >There is a difference between worms and scorpions
There's a very simple point to be made here- scorpions and worms are both in the kingdom of Animalia. Very clearly close. Now, This clearly is not enough, Or else worms would be people. But they are both referred to as bugs. Is this not clear yet? They also happen to both have claws (velvet worms have very nice claws), Venom (bobbit worms), And often can be found under rocks or in other such areas. Given this, It is difficult to refute the fact that there is no difference between a worm and a scorpion.
One is a tube and one is a scaly, Scary, Pinch monster. Yes they have similarities, But that would mean that Gorillas and Humans are the same by the same logic.
Bug= Small insect or harmful bacteria. If we assume by bug, You mean insect, Then we can say that an bug has to be a hexpod and therefore neither a worm nor scorpion qualify as being a bug.
A scorpion is an arachnid whereas a worm is, A worm.
