A family of small hemipteran insects commonly called leaf bugs or plant bugs, known for feeding on plant juices.
From Latin 'capsa' (box, case) + '-idae' (taxonomic suffix for families), likely referring to the bug's box-like body shape.
Capsid bugs are named after their shape, but they're actually named AFTER the virus capsid term was coined—which means scientists named a bug family after a box, and THEN named virus parts the same way!
