Bugs
Hemiptera
“Bug” is a word often used to refer to any insect or invertebrate, but true bugs belong to an order of their own. The Hemiptera are a fascinating group with specialised sucking mouthparts .
Many true bugs are herbivorous, drinking plant sap and excreting the excess as honeydew. Other bugs, including Assassin bugs, are predatory and feed on live invertebrates.
