Some people call insects bugs, but they aren’t all true bugs. True bugs are grouped in a special class called hemiptera, meaning “half-wing.” The front wings of an insect in this class have a leathery base with a filmy outer edge. True bugs have sucking mouth parts and only go through three stages before developing into an adult. Examples of true bugs are bed bugs, stink bugs, and chinch bugs. Did you know that the giant water bug can catch a small fish or frog with its hooked front legs? Water bugs can grow to four inches long in South America.
