    It’s like what critters are or aren’t “bugs”

    Entomologists usually limit it to Hemiptera, or even a more specific sub-order, while colloquially it just means any terrestrial arthropod

    Ants, bees, beetles, and butterflies technically aren’t “Bugs”, but they’re still bugs.

    Adults who fantasize about or engage in sex acts with minors above the age of 13 technically aren’t “Pedophiles”, but they’re still pedophiles.
