shrimps is bugs

I'm a firm bug centrist—non-hemipterans can be bugs but they have to be from a terrestrial lineage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Haha, my favorite crochet youtuber Complicated Knots made a series of videos on "Bugsmas" (for Christmas) last year. She included in her bugs such things as bees or beetles, but also a snail and a velvet worm. No hemipterans were included though. But following your definition, all those above could be bugs because they are terrestrial.

I thought it didn't need to be said that a bug must be an arthropod. smh, goddamn bug radicals

I'm making tempura bugs for dinner. On a night when everyone else gets nachos and pizza. Don't you feel sorry for me?

Australia calls one of our salt water crays "Balmain bugs"

They're especially popular as a Christmas food
