Om,

You might want to take another look at the sidebar of the Wikipedia link you
cited.

Insects - including "true" bugs (insecta), spiders and scorpions (arachnida)
and crabs (crustacea) are all arthropods.

Of course some folks consider anything creepy-crawly to be a "bug." (that's
an annelid, you fool!)

Picky picky picky!!!

To me, all "bugs" are arthropods...

It all depends on personal definitions.

Scorpions sure as hell are not crustaceans/crabs!

Even tho' crustaceans are arthropods. G

Duh.

The OP did not seem to realize that crustaceans/crabs were
arthropods/bugs.

But scorpions are only very distantly related to crabs.

Pill/sow bugs otoh.......
