A type of beetle or insect found in northern European regions, possibly related to wood-boring insects.
From Old Norse or Germanic roots combining 'dor' (possibly meaning wood or dark) with 'bug'; the term appears in dialectal English and Scandinavian languages.
Many insect names in regional dialects are disappearing faster than the insects themselves—dorbug is a word that survived in oral tradition long after entomologists gave these creatures Latin scientific names.
