Answer:
Like human blood, bug blood carries nutrients and hormones to the insect's cells and waste products away from the cells. The greenish or yellowish color of insect blood comes from the pigments of the plants the bug eats.

Answer:
Insects (including “true bugs”) do not technically have blood, but circulate a substance called hemolymph. Rather than the iron-containing hemoglobin of higher animals, hemolymph is composed of hemocyanin, which is a copper-based protein giving it a blue-green color rather than the red color of vertebrates
