The monograph on 'Assassin Bugs' is the holistic presentation of the work carried out so far in assassin bugs, especially the entomophagous reduviids, fascinating, economically important but badly neglected group of insects. This monograph will stimulate interest among students of heteroptera, heteropterists and entomologists who strive hard to promote integrated pest management, because of the major role assassin bugs certainly play in biological control.
Introduces the assassin bug, which pounces on victims, poisons them, and sucks them dry.
Assassin bugs are amazing creatures that use their long mouthparts to kill their prey. These ambushing bugs wait on flowers, where other bugs will land while looking for a meal. Unfortunately for them, however, they become the assassin bug's meal. Assassin bugs snatch their prey and drink their body fluids as if through a straw. With vivid photographs showing these creepy killers in action, readers experience the wild world bugs live in where no potential meal is safe.

This monumental reference work treats an entire worldwide order of insects. It summarizes, from both a biological and sytematic perspective, current knowledge on the Heteroptera, or true bugs, a group containing approximately 35,000 species, many of which are important to agriculture and public health. To introduce the reader to this group, Randall T. Schuh and James A. Slater offer chapters on the history of the study of the Heteroptera, research techniques, and sources of specimens. They also cover attributes of general biological interest, including habitats, habits, mimicry, and wing polymorphism; selected taxa of economic importance; and basic morphology.Presenting a current classificat...
