Select one of the thumbnail photographs of true bugs below to access the descriptive record for this insect. Although the name bug has become loosly applied to most small insect-like creatures, Hemipterans are the only insects correctly identified as bugs. Members of the Order Hemiptera are characterized by sucking mouthparts that originate from the tips of their head. Their forewings are also differentiated with a thickened base and membranous tip.
