- "Bugs"—Good, Bad, & Ugly
- Our thinking about the creatures commonly referred to as "bugs" is influenced by things both real and mythical. Some kinds of "bugs" (e.g. sowbugs) are neither insects nor mites. Pictures of sundry "bugs" that are insects and mites, including some true bugs, are categorized here.
- Endopterygote insects
- Insects with internal wing development and complete metamorphosis—beetles, moths, flies, hymenopterous insects (sawflies, bees,wasps, ants, parasitoid wasps), etc.
- Hemipteroid insects
- True bugs, hoppers, aphids, scales, psyllids, whiteflies, thrips, lice, etc.
- Orthopteroid insects (planned)
- Crickets, grasshoppers, stick insects, roaches, mantids, termites, etc.
- Mites & Ticks—Acari
- Mostly tiny, often microscopic, wingless arthropods with 8-legged adults
