Do bugs get sick like we do, like get a cold?

An insect can't get a cold like we do because they don't have a respiratory tract that's anything like ours....but they can get infections (get sick). Just about every organism on the planet can get sick,  from bacteria to trees. 

Insects can catch a whole range of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. We even hijack one of the viruses that tends to infect insects (Baculovirus) in the lab to get insect cells in culture to make stuff for us.
