Remember "Them" which kicked off the whole giant insect thing? That sort of film ended with Night of the Lepus. Giant killer bunny rabbits! And it wasn't even a spoof.

I seem to remember watching one of the giant insect movies with my family during primetime television, would have been in the mid to late 70's. The one I seem to remember was giant scorpions attacking from under the ground.
There is the 1957 film The Black Scorpion that fits that description, but I remember it being in color and more modern. Maybe that was the one we saw, but it seems a bit unlikely that would be a primetime TV film. Was there a more modern (color) version, maybe made for TV?
I might be confusing that with Empire of the Ants (1977) with Joan Collins. I don't doubt that made it to primetime TV and my family watching it. But I'm quite certain the film was giant scorpions.
