Actually, all bugs are insects. Not all insects are bugs. Bugs are an order of the insect kingdom. A bug is characterized by a straw shaped mouth and two sets of wings, generally a set of hardened fore-wings that cover the membranous under set. These are known as "True Bugs" and the Latin name for their order is Heteroptera.

∙ 12y agoThere is no real definition for a 'bug', which is the name commonly given to insects, arachnids, molluscs and so on.
It is just the common name people give to creepy crawlies. But here are some definitions of some different type of 'bug' :
Insect: Any of numerous usually small arthropod animals of the class Insecta, having an adult stage characterized by three pairs of legs and a body segmented into head, thorax, and abdomen and usually having two pairs of wings. Insects include the flies, crickets, mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, and bees.
Arachnid: Any of various arthropods of the class Arachnida, such as Spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks, characterized by four pairs of segmented legs and a body that is divided into two regions, the cephalothorax and the abdomen. Also called arachnoid.
Mollusc: any invertebrate of the phylum Mollusca, having a soft unsegmented body and often a shell, secreted by a fold of skin (the mantle). The group includes the gastropods (snails, slugs, etc.), bivalves (clams, mussels, etc.), and cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopuses, etc.)
Centipedes: Any of various wormlike arthropods of the class Chilopoda, having a flattened body composed of segments, each bearing a pair of jointed appendages. The appendages of the foremost body segment are modified into venomous biting organs with which it preys on insects, such as cockroaches.
Millipedes: Any of various crawling herbivorous myriapods of the class Diplopoda, found worldwide and having a cylindrical segmented body with two pairs of legs attached to all segments except for the first four in the thoracic region. Also called diplopod.
