| Posted : Tuesday, 21 July 2009 - 04:43 It is not what is known as a "true" bug, no. An ignorant person might call it that, however. True bugs have 6 legs.
Some people call any microorganism or insect, arthropod, etc. a "bug". Under that classification I'd say it is a bug. A pretty wide range of creatures.

princetons dictionary... general term for any insect or similar creeping or crawling invertebrate
thefreedictionary.com An insect or similar organism, such as a centipede or an earwig
dictionary.com (loosely) any insect or insectlike invertebrate
yourdictionary.com any small arthropod, esp. if regarded as a pest, as a louse, ****roach, or centipede

| Posted : Friday, 24 July 2009 - 08:47 once again i feel like a question hog, i waited almost two days to post my last question though.
but that wasn't my question, i asked about the nymph stage. and totally forgot where i found something with six legs in the nymph stage, so not only would that information be useless to me as was your answer...

| Posted : Friday, 24 July 2009 - 21:34 It goes from egg to larva to adult as far as I can ascertain.
As for it having a complete metamorphosis, I'm not entirely sure how to answer, it isn't like a butterfly that ends up looking completely different from the caterpillar stage.
