The only good bugs is dead bugs. ;)

The major flaw with dead bugs is you lose the identification of the ic.
Six months later, you will have no idea what the circuit is, where the
important signals are, or how the circuit works.
Nah. I build them inside the lid of a cast aluminum stomp box, and put a
paper schematic inside. No worries.

Many high frequency ic's have a ground tab that must be connected to
ground. This is not possible with dead bugs.
Often not all of a prototype must be on a copperclad ground plane.
Perpheral supporting circuits can be placed on a prototype board, with a
section of ground plane mounted on the proto board as needed. This makes
mounting test points and input and output signals much easier.
Amazon has a large selection of suitable proto boards:

More trouble than it’s worth IME.
