Technically a scarab is the ancient Egyptian amulet made usually of stone but modelled on the dung beetle. The Scarab flag was made to look alive with legs etc. which were not obvious on the amulets. So the boat name could be based on the ancient Egyptian artefact but the flag was of the dung beetle.
