Some are as large as small birds, while others are so small that a thousand placed inonepilewouldnot equal the size of a pea. Insects are commonly spoken of as "bugs." This term, however, is properly used only when referring to the one order of insects which includes the sap andblood-sucking insects such as the chinchbug,bed-bug,squashbug,and the like. Then too, there are many so-called "bugs" which are not insects at all. Spiders, thousand-legs, crawfishes and even earth-worms are often spo ken of as bugs.
