      Also he’s just wrong.

      The Hemiptera are called ‘true’ bugs because everyone - entomologists included - tend to call all insects ‘bugs’. That is a loose term, whereas the true bugs are just those contained within the insect order Hemiptera.

      He’d only be missing the joke if the spider’s preferred beer was True Bug Lite.
