    I don't know but this "Bug" scared me more than any animal has ever had!
    :)

    (one of THE very best films I've seen -- I love the trailer [and movie] because everything ends up being NOT what it seems! and even saying that is not a plot spoiler! So cool!)

    ~ the trailer from William Friedkin's "Bug"

  • They certainly are. Insects, arachnids, reptiles, birds, mammals, fish, sea sponges...all animals.

    Of course they are, they're part of the animal kingdom, there's no separate kingdom just for them.
