Definition
Having wings that are half-membranous and half-hardened, characteristic of true bugs and some insects.
Etymology
From 'hemi-' (half) plus Greek 'pteron' (wing). Related to the order Hemiptera, which includes insects like cicadas and aphids that have this distinctive wing structure.
Kelly Says
True bugs like stink bugs have a genius design—their front wings are half-armor (hardened) and half-membrane (flexible), like tiny insects wearing leather jackets that let their wings fold under like origami!
