Interesting, the truth is that we always use the same word to refer to both, the bugs would normally be parasites, like fleas and ticks?

Thank you very much my brother.....
.Technically, or taxonomically, a bug is a creature that belongs to the insect order Hemiptera, commonly known as true bugs.

Aphids, crickets, killer bugs, ants, and various other insects can claim legitimate membership in the Hemiptera order.
True bugs are defined by the type of mouth they have, which are modified for piercing and sucking. Many members of this order feed on plant fluids, and so their mouths have the necessary structure to penetrate plant tissue. Some Hemipterans, like aphids, can badly damage or kill plants by feeding them this way.
Wao, good information, it's very interesting, I'll check the link. Thanks
Thank you
