Bugs

Bugs are small creatures, creepy crawlers, that live on Earth. They consist of a huge multitude of animals that most people cannot call animals, as while they belong in Animalia, they do not look like most larger types of creatures. They consist of slugs, spiders, butterflies, crickets, and many other kinds of Arthropods. Some creatures that resemble bugs but are not bugs are lobsters and blind snakes. Some people do not like the term bug as its not very scientific, but instinctual. They prefer people to shun the bug label and refer to these creatures by their class or other taxonomic clade, such as arthropods or insects. It may also be seen as a form of discrimination towards them, as "bugs" are associated with creepy crawlies, slimy or scary looking, something to be feared and squished or to be wowed at by boys and met with fear and disgust by girls (except in certain cases, such as butterflies and ladybugs, which are acceptable bugs). The character Blathers of Animal Crossing New Horizons is an example of someone terrified of bugs, however he is an extremist in which he fears all bugs, even butterflies.
