Kirby what are you talking about here? You think our icon looks like an insect you are familiar with. Fine. The name of our project is Firebug. Some graphics guy made a cool icon of what he thought a Firebug looked like. Turns out there is a real insect called a Firebug and it looks pretty close to the icon. That's all there is to it. What do you want? You want us to change the name of the project to Firefly because you have a phobia about an insect that looks like our icon? Talk about lalalalala.
