Examples of true bugs include stink bugs, aphids, whiteflies, water bugs, and bed bugs. They use their straw-shaped mouth to pierce plants and feed on sap, juices, or other insects. The primary difference between bugs and insects is that bugs suck juices from plants. On the other hand, true bugs are a specific type of insect. Flying insects can include flies, butterflies, wasps, bees, grasshoppers, and beetles. Insects are animals in the class Insecta with six legs, two antennae, and three body segments-a head, thorax, and abdomen. However, it’s a good idea to know which flying insects to attract to your yard to enhance biodiversity and protect insect populations. Some of these winged creatures are recognized as flying pests. This article is a comprehensive guide to common flying bugs and insects. Many insects that fly perform vital tasks such as pollinating flowers or feeding on plant-destroying pests. However, not all winged bugs and insects are dangerous. Also, in your garden, flying insects can inflict a nasty sting or damage your ornamental flowering shrubs.

Identifying species of flying insects and bugs in your home is vital to recognize harmless, venomous, and disease-carrying pests.
