That's definitely a bug. Bug isn't a taxonomic term.

I believe it is. A bug is a range of insects with piercing mouthparts. Like sap-sucking guys, or assassin bugs. I don’t think mosquitoes count though. I could be wrong.

Bug is a taxonomic term? Fucking taxonomists. Taxonomy is a garbage pseudoscience that takes our living natural language and turns it into a dead, useless thing like their pinned up butterflies.

"You know what, fuck you, taxonomy."

Un-deads your butterflies
