Why arent all Arthropods displayed as orange icons on the map?

Here are all the colors that iNaturalist uses and what they generally mean:

Green = Plants
Red/Orange = Insects, Molluscs, Arachnids,
Blue = Ray finned fishes, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, and “Other Animals”
Pink (kind of a Magenta) = Fungi Including Lichens
Brown Red = Kelp, Diatoms, and Allies
Purple = Protozoans
Gray = Unknown, Prokaryotes, Bacteria, and Viruses (see discussion of the problems with this grey icon here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/icon-color-for-prokaryota/1464 )

Other arthropods are getting lumped in the blue “Other Animals” category, but I agree, I think it would make more sense to have them orange with insects, molluscs, and arachnids. I’m not sure whether they would consider changing the color without changing the iconic taxa definitions though.
