Insects of Coal Oil Point > Guide > Heteroptera - True Bugs
Heteroptera - True Bugs Heteroptera is a very large and diverse order of insects. True bugs are easily recognized by their front wings, known as hemelytra- where the basal half of the wings are thick and leathery and the tips are membranous. Like Homoptera, their mouthparts are long beaks, which they use to feed on plants or other insects, or in a few cases vertebrate blood. Most true bugs are terrestrial, though a good number are aquatic. The Coal Oil Point Reserve collection contains 24 species of true bugs.  Navigate by family Corixidae | Notonectidae | Anthocoridae | Miridae | Reduviidae | Tingidae | Berytidae | Lygaeidae | Rhopalidae | Saldidae | Cydnidae
