A: Dear reader, it all depends on what you mean by "bug." If you mean a "true bug," then no, not even most real bugs are "true bugs." If by "bug" you mean insect, then no, tarantulas may have all kinds of legs, but they aren't insects. If by "bug" you mean "something that bugs you," then yes, tarantulas do bug you on some level, or you wouldn't be asking the question. If by "bug" you mean something that enters your body and makes you ill, then, Egad! I hope not! That's just super creepy.
What then, is a tarantula? If you're anything like me you were always suspicious of all that fur, and rightly so! According to recent revelations by Bell+Howell, it turns out they are in fact rodents:
