- W102443697 abstract "True bugs (Heteroptera) are a fascinating and very diverse group of insects. Some are predacious, and many feed on plants and in several cases can be serious pests. Included are the bedbugs, and certain other insects that can spread Chagas disease. In this article, the author is primarily concerned with the biology and life history of these insects. Heteroptera is one of the most diverse groups of insects. Heteropterans (“true bugs”) range in length from a single millimeter to more than 8 cm and in width from a millimeter to several centimeters. They occur in all colors and combinations of colors, including jewel-like combinations of gold or green on an iridescent purple background. They live in habitats as varied as spider webs, anthills, termite mounds, grain, the bodies of bats, under the bark of trees (feeding on fungi), on the bark of trees (feeding on other arthropods), high in the canopies of tropical trees, deep in the soil, on the surface of water (without getting wet), and in the homes and beds of people. Some use tools (to capture termites), the males of some carry the eggs about to keep them safe, others squirt foul liquids (to repel enemies), yet others eat foul liquids (milkweed sap) and store the bitterness. Heteropterans feed on everything from fungi and crop plants to other insects and vertebrates, including people. One group (triatomine bugs) is the vector of one of the most serious diseases in Latin America (Chagas disease). Heteroptera is a suborder in the insect order Hemiptera. Like other hemipterans, heteropterans have narrow elongated mouthparts that pierce plants or animals and suck up the sap or the body flui`ds. The insects have incomplete metamorphosis (i.e., there is no pupal stage and the immatures look very much like the adults). The order is an old one: Hemipterans occurred in the Lower Permian, and heteropterans assignable to an extant infraorder have been found from the Upper Permian." @default.
