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

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)
