Bug is the name given to the INSECT of the
order Hemiptera, although other insects are
refered to as bugs. True bugs have partially
thickened, partially membranous front wings
and peircing-sucking mouth parts in the form
of a beak. The majority of bugs are
terrestrial but many are aquatic. See WATER_BUG
Most feed off of the juices of plants
although many feed from the blood of other
insects, whilst a number feed from the blood
of humans, these are commonly refered to as
the BED_BUG.
