    It is. Insects in the order Hemiptera are “true bugs.” Pokey mouth parts for piercing and sucking and something special about the wings, I forget what.

      You can go up to “insecta” for “bugs” in general.

      If you wanted to be nit picky/old school you could exclude all non-heteropterans from “true bugs.”
