The members of this large group of sucking insects exhibit considerable diversity both in body size (1/2 mm - 20 cm) and number of species (32,000). All homopterans are plant feeders, with mouthparts adapted for sucking plant juices from a variety of plants. Many homopterans cause problems by destroying cultivated plants such as fruit trees and grain crops; other homopterans carry diseases. A few homopterans provide secretions or other products that are beneficial to humans. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1973)
