    Yes they do. Every living thing does. Even plants do in their own way.

    I keep Fish, shrimp, snails, and isopods and they all do too. Fish and shrimp actually poop quite a lot, especially the latter. I don’t think I could ever eat shrimp after seeing how many turds those things produce.

      There are face mites that also don’t poop. Their lifes are so short that simple holding it in till they’re dead is easier

      Adult mayflies don’t, they don’t even have a digestive system or even mouth. They just reproduce and die.

      Sponges, IIRC don’t have organs, hence no anuses. Can their excretions be called poop?

        I started quoting relevant parts but there’s so many different ways they get rid of waste that it got silly.

        In a nutshell (lol): sap, leaves, petals, fruit, dead wood inside the tree, and root excretions are all kind of tree poop in their own ways.

        My sister got pregnant back in 2011. So I got her the book and audiocd of “Go the fuck to sleep”.

        She did NOT find it funny.

        That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅

    Spider poop is called frass and it is often used to reinforce their webs (usually wet droplets).

    Iirc hunting spiders tend to excrete more often dry pellets but may be misremembering.

    What do you think spider web is? Just kidding, it’s not poop. I think.

      First spider with sticky poop:

      You think right: silk comes from the spinnerets, however they do use frass (poo) to improve their cobwebs.

          Sure! Frass can be used for most insect excreta, but saying that someone’s full of frass sounds just right.

          Maybe also a phrase like: “If you touch the cobwebs, you’ll get the frass”
