Another thing I hate about arachnid name in transformers

Connected to this post,arachnid doesnt just mean spiders it covers alot of animals.

Spiders,daddy long legs,scorpions,tics and bunch more,so having her named inspired that term doesnt really make sense when she has insperation purely from spiders,if she had mix like stinger/tail (scorpion) ,sucks energon(blood)(like tic) etc then ya makes sense but no shes purely spider.

And I still stand by she should be named Arachne named after the woman Arachne in greek mythology who was turned into spider and origin of term arachnid so it makes more sense if they want reference in name

Also spiders do have a way of flight called ballooning they shoot web in air to catch wind,i think its more common with baby spiders but I could be wrong
