Maybe because the constellation is shaped like a scorpion, and scorpions were plentiful in the desert???

It looks like a snake to me, even complete with a forked tongue, and coiled ready to strike, and snakes are even more plentiful in the desert than scorpians.

Reminds me more of a slug...not sure there are many in the desert though.

A fish hook to me, but then again. I see lures, rods, boats and bait in about everything these days.
