ground pearls, cottony cushion scale Diaspididae (armored scales --------------------------------- NOTE:
DNA evidence shows a close relationship between
the Homoptera and Hemiptera, so that eventually the two
orders may be combined as was previously the case under
the Heteroptera. [See proposed arrangement below] |

Details of Insect Taxonomic Groups Examples of beneficial species occur in almost every
insect order, and considerable information on morphology and habits has been
assembled. Therefore, the principal
groups of insect parasitoids and predators provide details that refer to the
entire class Insecta. These details
are available at <taxnames.htm>. |
