Boxelder bugs are relentless lil critters
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Hot take: These guys never bothered me. I know some people are strongly bothered and annoyed by Boxelder bugs but they don't annoy me.
They give you a nasty disease that makes your heart fall apart. I hope you like being dead dumbass, your love of gross bugs will be the death of you!
I have no idea where you got this idea but it's wrong.

Are you perhaps thinking of kissing bugs???
They are the same bug!

That seems like horse shit
Speaking of horses, did you know that house flies and horse flies can look almost identical, but are different species?
The possum is not the same species as the opossum. A rabbit and a hare are different species. A buzzard and vulture are different species.
It's all about DNA. If two bugs (or any organism) can mate and produce viable, fertile offspring - that's a species. If they can't, then they are different species.
You're a different species dumbass!
