      It’s insane to me, how many people think that “bugs” aren’t animals. Sponges or barnacles, I can understand, but everyone knows that mosquitoes feed off of blood and spiders lay eggs, so how is it even a question?

        Lots of people get their wires crossed with animal versus mammal, even if they’re otherwise smart and educated. I’ve lost an unreasonable number of arguments against people who thought birds weren’t animals and couldn’t be convinced otherwise.
