Defining the Order. The True Bugs are insects that have two pairs of wings, the front or outer pair of each divided into a leathery basal part and a membranous apical part. These wing covers are held over the back and often partly folded. Bugs undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with their young looking much like adults, but without wings. Effects on mankind.
