Very true.... for instance, in Mexico they use Alacrán, like the band Alacranes Musical. But, I believe the South American countries are the ones that use Escorpión. This is not fact though, this is purely based on my observations. =) - DJ_Huero, Jun 18, 2010

A scorpion is an insect (it has six legs) and an alacran is not it has eight legs also scorpions have bigger claws. If you know how to read Spanish there is more information in this link ( http://mx.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060913152909AAVxr2u )
