Arachnos Unit Names

So I was randomly looking up stuff about spiders and decided to read into the spiders the various Arachnos units tend to be based off of (With the exception of Fliers, Fortunata, and Banes, who are all freaks of nature, but that's besides the point.) and got a few weird thoughts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_spider
Based off of some of the information in this article, wouldn't this mean that the cloak and attack styles of the Bane spider would fall closer to what Crab Spiders can do?

Also, why is there no Arachnos unit based off of or called "Birdeater"? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird-eating_spider)

And we've never been told if there's another name for the min subs Arachnos uses, would they be called Dock/wharf/fishing/raft spiders?

Should Wolf Spiders be able to basically use Gang War only with Spiderlings? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider)

Also, Jumping Spiders are cute, and apparently cute in nature. (Or it's just me): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../Mystaceus.jpg

My mind can't decide if they they are actually cute or unbelievably horrifying.

I once held a bird-eating spider, despite being huge they weigh almost nothing, it's quite incredible.

This picture confirms my belief that nature belongs in parks and National Geographic, not anywhere near me.

Now I need a drink...

Freakshow jumping spider perhaps?
It self rezzes after you use foot stomp on them.

So lovely. *sigh*
Very lovely one of my favorite spiders

Of course Tarantulas are very gentle... Spiders have such a bad rep.

OOPs I meant gentle!

I blame spell checker, being tired, and one to many beers!

I think you want Portia (genus), your link went to "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.."

I get the whole Spider-theme, I do, really, but there should also be Arachnos Fluffy Bunny Corps.

They'd be a special PR division sent out at holidays to share some goodwill.


@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
