a bug
A "bug" is an insect, like a fly, mosquito, ant, grasshopper, etc.
What kind of bug is that?
I don't like the country. Too many bugs.
The word "insect" is more formal and a little more scientific-sounding than "bug".

"Buzz" is a word that describes a sound. "Buzzing" is a kind of medium- to high-pitched noise that is made by:
- flies
- bees
- a broken fan

In addition to describing a sound, "buzz" can also describe the action of an insect flying around while making a buzzing noise.
