Megatherium

People keep saying that the megatherium gets a damage boost when fighting bugs, but that is false. By definition, a bug is belongs to the order Hemiptera. True bugs include things like stink bugs, cicadas, aphids, and shield bugs.

• Ants, order Hymenoptera, are not true bugs.

• Dragonflies, order Odonata, are not true bugs.

• Scorpions aren’t even insects, they are arachnids.

• Centipedes aren’t insects either, let alone true bugs. They are myriapods.

• The praying mantis is not a true bug either.

• The rhyniognatha doesn’t even exist, and is therefore not a bug.

To conclude, there are no true bugs whatsoever in ARK that I an aware of. If anyone disagrees, please correct me.
