State

Calling both an insect and a spider a "bug" collapses a real distinction — the two belong to separate arthropod subphyla with different plans.

Show

An insect has six legs, three body regions, and antennae; a spider has eight legs, two body regions, and no antennae.

Watch for

This entry states the informal-language misconception — Bio 2275 gives the traits that separate these two groups.
