🐞The term 'bug' is often used colloquially to refer to small creepy crawly creatures, but in the scientific sense, bugs specifically belong to the order Hemiptera, which makes up only 8% of insect species.
🦗Insects, including bugs, are characterized by their six legs, exoskeletons, and often having wings at some point in their life cycle.
🐛Beetles, such as the ladybug, belong to a different subgroup of insects and are not true bugs.
🐌Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, are isopods and not insects at all.
🪲The confusion surrounding the term 'bug' originated from its historical usage to describe mysterious and creepy creatures, as well as the generalization of the term in popular culture.
