The words, insect and bug, are commonly, but incorrectly, used interchangeably. Butterflies and bugs are both grouped in the Insecta Class (tri-segmented body, and 6 legs). However, these two groups are classified in separate orders within the Insecta Class.

True bugs are grouped in the Order: Hemiptera, which includes cicadas and aphids. Butterflies are classified in the Order: Lepidoptera, along with moths, dragonflies, damselflies, and skippers.
