Heteroptera

/ˌhetərəˈptərə/ noun

Definition

The order of insects commonly called true bugs, having two pairs of wings with different structures (hardened forewings and membranous hindwings).

Etymology

From Greek 'hetero-' (different) + 'ptera' (plural of 'pteron', meaning wings). This taxonomic term was established in the 18th century by Linnaeus and other naturalists.

Kelly Says

Heteroptera includes stink bugs, assassin bugs, and water striders—over 80,000 species that evolved the trick of having armor-plated front wings, making them unbelievably successful as predators and pests.
