Grasshoppers are insects. A bug is a type of insect, characterized by a straw-shaped mouth and two sets of wings (one set is thinner and generally kept under the first set, unlike the two sets of wings a dragon-fly has).
Grasshoppers, along with katydids and crickets, are in the Order Orthoptera of the Class Insecta. Bugs constitute a completely different order of Class Insecta called Order Hemiptera (modern taxonomy splits Hemiptera into Hemiptera and Homoptera). Bugs include stink bugs, assassin bugs, tree hoppers, leaf hoppers, bed bugs and aphids.
Thus grasshoppers are not bugs, they are in a different order of insects.
