It is the definitive source for biological information on all of the major families of Heteroptera . It integrates insect-focused and crop-oriented references, synthesizing biology, behavior, and ecology. Each entry includes a detailed life history, helping to evaluate the impact of harmful and useful Heteroptera. It includes bibliographies to support further research and separate indices to insects and plants.
