Bugs are any of the small, terrestrial arthropods, sometimes taken to include creatures like snails and slugs as well. One particular group of insects, the Hemiptera, are called the true bugs. The "bug" found by Grace Hopper was a moth.

The word bug is also used to mean a disease, or a problem, especially in computer programs. See computer bug.

The word bug can also mean a hidden surveillance device, see Bugging.

Bug is also the name of two rivers in eastern Europe.

The better known of the two, also known as the Western Bug, flows from the central Ukraine to the west, forming part of the boundary between that nation and Poland. It is 724 km (450 mi) long.

The other Bug River, this one sometimes known as the Southern Bug, is entirely located in Ukraine. It rises in the west, about 90 miles from the Polish border, and flows southeasterly into the Black Sea. It is 853 km (530 mi) long.
