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).
