Yes, taxonomically speaking, all bugs are considered insects even though no, practically speaking, they are not. A bug formally, puristically, technically speaking is supposed to be a member of the insect order Hemiptera. But in actual practice, its use will be found expanded to include the arachnid (mite, scorpion, spider, tick), insect, myriapod (centipede, millipede), terrestrial crab, and woodlouse representatives -- but not aquatic crustaceans or horseshoe crabs -- of the invertebrate phylum Arthropoda of jointed appendage- and segmented body-bearers.

No, not all bugs are considered insects. Insects are a specific group of bugs that have six legs and three body segments (head, thorax, abdomen). Bugs is a broader term that includes insects as well as other small creatures like Spiders and centipedes.

Are all insects bugs?

Not all bugs are insects, but real bugs are the ones with 6 legs and sharp tubes for eating. Answer Taxonomically, insects comprise millions of species as a single class, Class Insecta. There about 29 orders of insects. Examples are Order Isoptera, Order Ephemeroptera, Order Odonata, Order Zeugloptera and Order Hymenoptera. The bug order was initially Order Hemiptera. This has been split into Orders Hemiptera and Homoptera. An order is a subset of Insecta. Hemiptera and Homoptera form a subset of Insecta. Thus all bugs are insects but not all insects are bugs. Bugs have all the insect characters (3 parts to the body and 6 legs and wings). They have hemelytra and piercing mouthparts however which separates them from all other insects (like termites and bees and butterflies and flies and dragonflies and beetles and lacewings and zeuglopterans et cetera).

yeah...duhAll true bugs belong to the insect order Hemiptera. Other organisms are called bugs and may or may not be insects. The pill bug, for instance, is a crustacean. In English, the term "bug" is often used, sometimes synonymously with "pest" to refer to all insects, spiders and other organisms that you might find under rocks...They are not necessarily "True Bugs". To answer your question, you will need to specify how you are using the term.All true bugs are insects but not all insects are true bugs.Some things called bugs are insects but not everything called a bug is an insect...The Volkswagen Bug is a car.
