Yes and no. There's a group called "true bugs" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera as linked above). "Bug" in the common sense doesn't have a precise definition (small arthropod that may or may not be a pest to humans is about as precise as I feel I can get), but there _is_ a scientific definition of "true bug".

So moths are not bugs because they're "true bugs"? How does it make sense?

  • Apparently they're not "true bugs", the comment you replied to isn't claiming that they are.
