“Bugs” not only includes insects and spiders, it also includes millipedes, centipedes, worms, and terrestrial isopods (“pill bugs”) – none of which are insects. It’s basically any small terrestrial/freshwater arthropod that isn’t obviously a crab/crayfish.

so it’s even more non specific than i thought!

but yeah, as like a 10yo i really only knew about the insects and spiders thing and boy did it piss me off

True bugs are members of the order Hemiptera, all of which are insects having piercing, sucking mouthparts. Stinkbugs are examples. 

“Bugs”, colloquially, are any sort of crawly thing that aren’t obviously crabs, crayfish, or lobsters.

please.

That is the exact spot my parents found a stray kitten. Nice little addition to the family, but would have been a terrible addition to the pavement had she not been very vocal OTL

No joke, the place where that cat is resting in this picture is called a “dead cat hole” it’s an automotive term.  Don’t believe me, look it up.

This is also where I found a stray cat, she was up in there during a thunderstorm and I begged my dad to let me being her inside and that’s the story of how I got my first cat.

Please don’t skip over this without reading it and making a mental note. Even if you don’t have a car, tell your parents or whoever, and make sure to do this. You think that’ll never happen but that’s what everyone thought who had this happen and didn’t check, and that poor cold cat met with a terribly sad end.
