no skittles are NOT made out of bugs or insects or anything like that, it's just pure sweetness in it like other candies.
Shellac is a secretion of bugs which is (or was) an ingredient in Skittles sweets, so the notion that they contain bugs came from that (though shellac is just a secretion from the bug, not the actual bug itself in body)
Shellac is edible and it is used as a glazing agent on pills and candies in the form of pharmaceutical glaze or confectioner's glaze depending on its use. When used for this purpose, it has the food additive E number E904.
