    Ok but “bug” has multiple meanings, and almost nobody means “hemiptera” when they say it. More commonly, it’s any terrestrial arthropod. Arachnids are bugs. Centipedes are definitely bugs.

    Heck, there’s a broader definition that basically includes all arthropods. “Moreton bay bugs” are a popular food this time of year. And they’re a kind of lobster.

      The ocean is quite literally lousy with sea lice. They’ve even got rolly-pollies down there.

    Does “bug” have a technical definition? If so then it’s news to me and everyone who uses it to mean pretty much any small invertebrate (or microorganism, or software defect).

    what kind of beer do spiders drink? bug lite

    By “Mentally Healthy” @EAT_ROAD…:

    bad joke, spiders are not bugs only insects of the order hemiptera classified as bugs and spiders aren’t even insects. maybe if you drank fewer beer and spent more time studying you would know that but it’s your life

    by “you’re right, i’m wrong” @OkButStill:

    they eat bugs you big dumb bitch

      No. Insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8.

        Are they in some separate category?

          They’re separate biological classes.
          So they’re about as far apart as you are from a reptile, bird or fish.

          Yes, they’re arachnids.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid

          Both insects and arachnids are arthropods.
