Triatoma protracta ( commonly called Western Conenose, vinchuca, Mexican bedbugs or Kissing Bug ) is an assassin bug ( family Reduviidae ) of the order Hemiptera.

Hemiptera are mostly herbivores or omnivores but pollen feeding is known ( and has only been well studied in the Anthocoridae ).

A cicada ( or ) is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha ( which was formerly included in the now invalid order Homoptera ), in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings.

Shellac is scraped from the bark of the trees where the female lac bug, Kerria lacca ( Order Hemiptera, Family Coccidae ) secretes it to form a tunnel-like tube as it traverses the branches of tree.

Hemiptera () is an order of insects most often known as the true bugs ( cf.

The name " Hemiptera " is from the Greek (; " half ") and (; " wing "), referring to the forewings of many heteropterans which are hardened near the base, but membranous at the ends.

This is the case, for example, in Orthoptera ( crickets and grasshoppers ), Hemiptera ( cicadas, shield bugs, etc.

Heteroptera is a group of about 40, 000 species of insects in the Hemiptera.

The name " Heteroptera " is used in two very different ways in modern classifications ; in Linnean nomenclature it commonly appears as a suborder within the order Hemiptera, where it can be paraphyletic or monophyletic depending on its delimitation.

In phylogenetic nomenclature it is used as an unranked clade within the Prosorrhyncha clade which in turn is in the Hemiptera clade.

The use of the name " Heteroptera " has a long history at the rank of order, dating back to Latreille, 1810, and it is only recently that it has been relegated to a subsidiary rank within a larger definition of Hemiptera, so many reference works still include it as an order.

However, in most cases when such conventions are violated, it does not create an internal conflict as in the present case ( that is, the order Hemiptera has a suborder named Heteroptera, which is an internal conflict ).

" Waterbugs " is a common name for a number of aquatic insects, most of which are classified in the infraorders Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha of the order Hemiptera.

Homoptera is a deprecated suborder of order Hemiptera ; recent morphological studies and DNA analysis strongly suggests that the order is paraphyletic.

The lesser water boatman ( Corixa punctata ) is a water-dwelling insect of order Hemiptera.

Its nest is known to host the Hemiptera species Cimexopsis nyctali, which is similar to the bedbug, and can ( on rare occasions ) become a pest species in houses.

Unlike the Hemiptera, the right mandible of thrips is reduced and vestigial-and in some species completely absent.

Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order and, as such, share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts.

Pentatomidae, Greek pente meaning five and tomos meaning section, is a family of insects belonging to order Hemiptera including some of the stink bugs and shield bugs.

There are about 7000 species altogether, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera.

* Formally, an insect of the order Hemiptera, known as the " true bugs "

Several other insect groups appeared during the Permian, including the Coleoptera ( beetles ) and Hemiptera ( true bugs ).

Other insect orders are rarely pollinators, and then typically only incidentally ( e. g., Hemiptera such as Anthocoridae, Miridae ).

Many species of Hemiptera are significant pests of crops and gardens, including many species of aphid and various scale insects, including the cottony cushion scale, a pest whose infestation of American citrus crops sparked one of the earliest biological pest control programmes, when the Australian beetle Rodolia cardinalis was introduced as a natural enemy of the scale insect.

These hosts are to be found in at least 12 different insect orders including Lepidoptera ( butterflies and moths ), Diptera ( true flies ), Coleoptera ( beetles ), Hemiptera ( true bugs ), and other Hymenoptera, as well as two orders of Arachnida, and even one family of nematodes.

The insect orders, Thysanura, Dermaptera and Thysanoptera do not possess these muscles and Collembola and Hemiptera: Aphididae completely lack a Malpighian tubule system.

Aphididae is a very large insect family in the aphid superfamily ( Aphidoidea ), of the order Hemiptera.

Anoeciidae is an insect family of the order Hemiptera.

The present members of the order Hemiptera were historically placed into two orders, Homoptera and Heteroptera / Hemiptera, based on the differences in wing structure and the position of the rostrum.

These two orders were then combined into the single order Hemiptera by many authorities, with Homoptera and Heteroptera classified as suborders.

Although they are sometimes called " 17-year cicadas " or " 7-year locusts ", these are misnomers as cicadas belong to the taxonomic order Hemiptera, while locusts belong to Orthoptera.

The scale insects are small insects of the order Hemiptera, generally classified as the superfamily Coccoidea.

Gerridae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers, water skippers, water spiders, or Jesus bugs.

They are part of the order Hemiptera which are also known as the ' true bugs '.

Corixidae is a family of aquatic insects in the order Hemiptera that inhabit ponds and slow moving streams, where they swim near the bottom.

Since mealybugs ( as well as all other Hemiptera ) are hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis in the true sense of the word, i. e. there are no clear larval, pupal and adult stages, and the wings do not develop internally.

Aggregations are common among diapausing tropical insects, especially in the orders Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Hemiptera.

His entomological contributions were mainly in the orders Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Hemiptera.

Together with aphids, phylloxerans, scale insects and whiteflies they form the group called Sternorrhyncha, which is considered to be the most " primitive " group within the true bugs ( Hemiptera ).
