I don't care who you are, if you are not expecting it and a spider comes into contact with your skin, you flip the fuck out. It is what happens unless you are a zombie.
i don't care about bugs on my skin unless they move out of my line of sight or start biting me
What the fuck was in that textbook you used in school back in 1912?
There is no scientific classification of "bug." It's insects and arachnids etc. I think it's reasonable to clump all those types of critters into the general group of "it's a bug."

Man, there is no concern regarding tue insects or anthropods or arachnid or whatever. As long as it has an exoskeleton, chitin or otherwise, or crawls around and startles you from time to time, it's all good.

you are the stupidest motherfucker to walk the face of this planet
you assert that spiders aren't bugs, and as evidence you post a definition of the class insecta
care to try again?
You post a definition that gives the colloquial definition of a bug and the scientific definition that addresses the "true bugs" like cicadas and aphids. The colloquial definition is wrong because it lumps spiders and insects together, and spiders aren't insects as I wrote. QED spiders are not bugs.

Jesus fucking rape Christ on a pogo stick
there is no "scientific" or "technical" definition of bug
bug is inherently slang and you're an idiot for using bug and insect interchangeably

Hemiptera is an order of insects, comprising around 80,000 species of cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, shield bugs, and others, collectively known as the true bugs.
I am going to beat you with this science stick you dumb fuck until you realize the difference.
bugs are not strictly insects
"true bugs" expressly shows that there are bugs that fall outside the silly nomenclature of "true bugs" otherwise they would just be called bugs and they could leave "true" off

"true bugs" expressly shows that there are bugs that fall outside the silly nomenclature of "true bugs" otherwise they would just be called bugs and they could leave "true" off
They are called true bugs, because they are the only animals that are actually bugs. They are also called true bugs as to differentiate between those that are grouped as bugs under the colloquial definition.

and if this thread was supposed to be limited to "true bugs" then it would say "true bugs" in the title
the colloquial definition is entirely the appropriate one in this case you idiot

That is why this argument won't go anywhere, you're both right in your own way
Some bugs being insects does not translate to bugs ONLY being insects.
Anything that looks like a bug is a bug.

That looks like a science experiment gone wrong.

I was really tempted to jump into this argument, since pointless nitpicking about language and entomology are two of my favorite things, but this thread is too much fun to muck up with pedantics.
So here's a picture of an assassin bug which is remarkably similar to the one I found crawling on my neck a few months ago. Not a great way to wake up in the morning.
I mean, seriously. The saw-blade thing is completely gratuitous. It looks like something a third grader would draw in the margins of his Life Science notes.
Edit: And it's also a member of order Hemiptera. TOPICAL.

also there's very little difference between a spider and most insects
why should spiders be verboten, spiders are awesome
a cockroach or centipede no no no no

Jesus dude I dont know if you are kidding or what but you are the worst kind of person lets make out.

just sayin'.
yeah those are baby scorpions on it's back.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
