You Are Maybe An Insect
We don’t want to get your hopes up, but we’re happy to say that you are almost certainly an insect by some definition or another! If you want to tell your friends and family that you are a small or large bug, it is fairly safe to do so. Even if you turn out not to strictly be an insect, you are probably an insect where it counts. Congratulations!

You Are Probably Not An Insect
We don’t want to rule anything out, but it looks like, unfortunately, you most likely are not an insect. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that you are a bug, but it’s not looking too good right now. If you turn out to have six legs or an exoskeleton, that could change our assessment. For now, though, it’s probably safest to assume you are something that usually isn’t an insect, such as a human or a dog. Sorry!
