Considering horses (and thus horseshoes) came way after the horseshoe crab, we really should rename the horseshoe to "crab shoe" or something and "horseshoe crab" to something else. Ideas welcome.

Agree, they don't seems Horse shoes, they are not even crabs or crustaceos, Arrow Tail Scorpion or Spider would maybe the biological most exact name.
