It sounds like English might be an issue here. "Bug" is an insect, like a fly, mosquito, etc. It can also mean to irritate someone or something -- "When my kids don't clean their rooms, it bugs me."
Hope that helps!

I am in agreement with the other posts on this answer. In more simple terms, a bug is:
1. A noun for an insect:
"There is a bug on the wall."
" I killed a bug yesterday."
2. A verb meaning to annoy.
"That noise really bugs me."
"The neighbor's barking dog bugged me all night."
3. Sometimes we say "bug" to refer to a problem with an electronic device such as a computer.
"My television isn't working right, there must be a bug in it".
"I need to debug my computer; it is running slow."
Hope this helps some too.
