Comment on 🍺 🍻
“bug” is a technical definition, surprisingly
In my experience academics will often refer to hemiptera as “true bugs”, and not get too didactic about it other than that.
Not really fair to blame academics for common misuse of a term from their respective field, they’re all vastly outnumbered and people can be extremely stubborn when being corrected on terminology
