Talk:Melon Bug

Insect?

Are these guys considered insects? Their name suggests that they are, but they sure don't look very insect-like... They have those antennae... --YellowYoshi398 16:12, 16 February 2007 (EST)

Also, they are not really "enemies". They cannot harm Yoshi. 3D, wackoooo!

I thought they were a type of beetle. -- Sir Grodus

Insects...? They are I guess. Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Their name implies that they're bugs. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Their Japanese name (「ころがりくん」korogari-kun) doesn't, neither does their German name, or any official information. They shouldn't be classified as insects just because of their English name imo.--vellidragon 17:07, 21 January 2010 (EST)

Not sure if they're insects, but I agree that the English name alone isn't enough. Buzzy Beetles are also not actual beetles even though their localized names imply that. --Grandy02 17:13, 21 January 2010 (EST)

Not to mention that all bugs are not necessarily insects. --Garlic Man (talk)

They're isopods! Isopods are a type of crustacean, not a type of insect! Sure, both are arthropods, but it's like generalizing that frogs and humans are both reptiles because they're chordates, when neither of them really are! --CompliensCreator (talk) 23:56, 25 July 2018 (EDT)
