โ€œBugโ€ is a folksy word for any invertebrate with 6 or more legs. For example, they call lobsters and crayfish bugs.

many people call slugs, snails, and worms bugs too. So any invertibrate with the right vibes

So there is no such thing as a bug, in the same way that there is no such thing as a tree
