Bugs are a broader terms for small vermin in 
Anthem. Sometimes called insects, bugs have definite structures, others are simply shows in the context of visual effects. Bugs like Skorpions, Butterflies and Vesnids have their own page. For convenience Scars are excluded from any bug-related pages, even though they technically qualify as hives of bugs.
