Frequently asked questions

Why are creatures like spiders missing from this list?

Spiders are arachnids rather than true insects because their bodies have eight legs instead of the standard six.

Is a ladybug actually a type of bug?

Despite the common name everyone uses, it is classified scientifically as a flying beetle.
