| | Hemiptera |
| | The Hemiptera are the true bugs, the general use of the term "bug" as applied to all insects being incorrect. | | | Those living in water are, at least for the most part, feeders on insects and other animals small enough for them to capture; those which live on the surface are also predaceous; while of the land forms some consume other insects but probably the larger number are plant feeders. | | | The eggs of Hemiptera are laid under greatly differing conditions. |

| | Hemiptera & Homoptera |
| | Hemiptera means “halfwing,” in reference to the unique front pair of wings, which are leathery near their base and membranous towards the tips. | | | The hemiptera, however, are the “true” bugs of the insect world, having distinct features that set them apart from other insect orders. | | | The Hemiptera and Homoptera are large orders of insects with too many species to cover in this book. |

| | Introduction to the Hemiptera and Homoptera |
| | Hemiptera means "half wing" and refers to the fact that part of the first pair of wings is toughened and hard, while the rest of the first pair and the second pair are membranous. | | | A possibly paraphyletic group of insects known as the Homoptera is sometimes included within the Hemiptera, even though they lack the toughened areas on the first pair of wings. | | | Hemipterans also have modified piercing and sucking mouthparts; some suck plant juices and are plant pests, while others can bite painfully. |

| | Water Scorpions |
| | The Hemiptera are insects that grow through a series of molts but lack a distinct metamorphosis. | | | Within the order Hemiptera, water scorpions belong to the sub-order Heteroptera ('different wings') in which the anterior wings are stiffened to form protective wing cases and conceal the membranous posterior wings that are normally folded beneath. | | | Like all insects, water scorpions possess antennae (feelers), but they are tiny and lie concealed at the base of the eyes. |

| | Hemiptera means "half wing" owing to the first pair of wings being toughened and hard, while the remainder of the first pair and a second pair are membranous. | | | They are also called Resin Bugs, a term given them due to their habit of lurking around resin deposits lying in wait for their favorite prey: stingless bees. | | | These bugs often have symbiotic relationships with bacteria that aid the insect in the production of nutrients. |

| | Order Hemiptera |
| | Apart from a few aphids living on the aerial parts of water plants, the Hemiptera associated with water belong to two series of Heteroptera: the Nepomorpha, which when truly aquatic spend most of their time under water, and the Gerromorpha, which are primarily adapted to live on water surfaces. | | | Only about 10% of all species of Hemiptera are associated with water, and these are representatives of 15 families of the suborder Heteroptera, 14 of which occur in northeastern North America. | | | The ecology of the aquatic Hemiptera is much better known, and it is probable that they are limnologically more significant than the beetles. |

| | Most species of Hemiptera are plant feeders, sucking sap with many causing considerable damage to crops, ornamental garden plants such as roses, shrubs and trees. | | | Some species are bloodsuckers of mammals and birds while others are predators that feed on other invertebrates, including some pest species and are therefore beneficial to man. The proboscis of hemipterans contains cutting blades and a two-channelled tube. | | | There are about 6000 described species in Australia, ranging in size from 1 to 110 millimetres in length. |

| | Hemiptera |
| | The name Hemiptera is derived from the Greek "hemi-" meaning different and "ptera" meaning wings, which refers to the fact that the texture of the front wings is different near the base (leathery) than at the apex (membranous). | | | Predatory species of Hemiptera are generally regarded as beneficial insects, but those that feed on blood may transmit human diseases. | | | They may cause localized injury to plant tissues, weaken plants by removing sap, and they may also transmit plant pathogens. |
