More DescriptionThis work presents the most thorough account of true bugs to date, from the bloodsucking bed bug to the dreaded assassin bug. It is the definitive source for biological information on all of the major families of Heteroptera. It integrates insect-focused and crop-oriented references, synthesizing biology, behavior, and ecology. Each entry includes a detailed life history, helping to evaluate the impact of harmful and useful Heteroptera. It includes bibliographies to support further research and separate indices to insects and plants. It also covers the physiology of plant damage and predation by this group and provides enough information to determine management methods.
