IOI - PTB - Guide (SoI, Threads of Interest, Etc)


There are quite a number of familes of Heteroptera that have some or all of their members species predacious.  SCABIES is mainly concerned with the larger and/or more interesting looking and behaving species.  The familes that SCABIES is investigating are (arranged alphabetically) (familes of species interest are underlined):


Anthocoridae - Shield bugs- Relatively few are predacious(?)

Berytidae - Stilt bugs- Smaller, LONG legged predators.

Belostomatidae - Giant water bugs - Large water living bugs.  ~Amphibious.  So far, VERY difficult to raise, impossible to culture!

Gelastocoridae - Toad bugs - Smaller, water oriented bugs that look like, well, toads.

Lygaeidae - Seed bugs - realtively few are predacious

Miridae - Plant bugs- Likely very few are predacious

Nabidae - Damsel bugs-

Nepidae - Waterscorpions -

Pentatomidae - Stink bugs - relatively few are predacious and possibly all are plant feeders at lowest instars

Phymatidae - Ambush bugs- Interesting "chunky" shape and awesome predatorial power!

Reduviidae - Assassin bugs- "Classic" assassins.  Most hobby bugs belong to this family

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
