What's with science?

For the last 10 years, I have mistakenly remembered that the bugs with the coffin-shaped backs were classified as hymenoptera. But just now a bug came in, and I googled him, and it turns out that those bugs are called hemiptera.

Here is another thing I learned, which is kind of messed up. BITING lice are classified as Mallophaga, but SUCKING lice are classified as Siphunculata.

(
Siphunculata suck!)

BUT, mantises and roaches are both classified as
Dictyoptera.

Do you know where I can touch real bugs?

This morning on the train the man in the seat in front of me was reading a newspaper, which had an ad inviting people to "Touch Real Bugs!" But the man's finger was covering up the location.

I want to touch real bugs.
