  To be fair, while bugs and other insects don’t have lungs, some arthropods do. The differences among arthropods, insects and bugs aren’t exactly common knowledge.

    some have book-lungs not true lungs. Only us fish have “true” lungs

      Agreed. I was referring to book lungs.

      Also, I feel like you got some ‘splainin’ to do regarding the fish reference.

        In a nutshell: speaking cladistically, there is no such thing as a fish, or alternatively, all tetrapods are fish. You cant define a monophyletic group that includes “fish” that doesnt also include humans (and all other tetrapods eg birds and such). That’s my understanding anyway

        We’re all descended from fish.

        Also, IIRC, some fish are more closely related to us than they are to other fish, making it impossible to biologically define a category of animal that includes everything we call a fish but doesn’t include us.

    Usually not lungs as they exist in mammals, though.

      You’re right. They’re different.

  It’s funny that this is biology in 4th grade and half the people here are shocked

  I didn’t think bees had lungs. I also didn’t think bees didn’t have lungs…

  I’m less bothered by that person not knowing and way more bothered by them just being so confidently incorrect. Doesn’t take long to just look it up yourself. Unless the whole post was an educational setup?
