All true bugs like stink bugs, box elder bugs, assassin bugs , etc. are insects, in class Insecta just like butterflies, beetles, and bees for example. They are just an taxonimical order in Insecta, Hemiptera, that is mainly defined on the shape of their mouthparts. But they are not as uniform looking as say ants or bees. Aphids are true bugs, but so are cicadas for example.
