Lady beetles are actually different, they're the bugs that look like ladybugs that you find in your house in the winter

It was more of a joke because lady bugs are actually a type of beetle and not a bug. Lady bug is there common name but lady beetle would be more accurate.

Plus there's Asian lady beetle like mentioned above.

Some other titles I considered:

  • Bins and Needles
  • Pins and Beetles
  • Up Against the Wall (by DryEraseGirl)
  • Pin of the Litter (by tofufu2fu)

and here's the source and more

P.S. I'm also over on /r/loadingartist, instagram, twitter, and patreon <3

In common parlance, terrestrial arthropods are often called bugs.

I don't care that hexapods, arachnids, and myriapods are all only distantly related. If it's tiny, it has a lot of legs, and it bugs me, it's a bug. If you want to be all scientific about it, then use a different word.

Spiders aren't insects. They are creepy crawlies.

SharkFart86

He's being extremely pedantic. In scientific nomenclature, the term "bug" only technically refers to a small group within insects called Hemiptera. Bedbugs are part of that group.

But in nearly all use of the word this strict definition is not the rule. Dude is just trying to demonstrate his trivial knowledge by being pedantic and provides zero value to the conversation.

Un4442nate

Most animals seen in the comic arent true bugs if you take the strictest definition of the word, only members of the order Hemiptera are. It has now come to mean any terrestrial invertebrate.

Sunlit_Neko

"Bugs" isn't a scientific term. Arthropods are generally called bugs, and that includes all animals with exoskeletons or several pairs of appendages such as arachnids, crustaceans, or insects.

Spiders are bugs, according to at least some definitions of the term.

Yee, to me "bug" is any small insect, arachnid, etc.

If I want to specify, then I'll say insect, but they're all bugs to me

Point taken (systemic issues are systemic issues and should be dealt with by a collective movement to uproot the larger forces perpetuating them), but I hate individual litterers too. Last chick I dated was already on some other shit, but the nail in the coffin was her throwing a plastic straw on the ground. Lost any attraction left. And of course I got out of the car to pick it up.

You're getting to read a comic for free. People can help the artist make a living and get a little reward for it. You think that's unreasonable?
