Bugs is a Life-like cellular automaton. Its rulestring is B3567/S15678, which means that a cell is born when it has 3, 5, 6, or 7 alive neighbours, and an alive cell survives when it has 1, 5, 6, 7, or 8 alive neighbours. Like in 2×2, patterns made of blocks will permanently remain made of blocks.

Still Lifes

The only still lifes in Bugs are the domino and duoplet; it has been proven that no others exist.
