Description: Description and distribution of these useful predatory bugs, with a key to the species found in Florida and illustrations of a number of species.
common name: big-eyed bugs (of Florida) spp. (Insecta: Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) spp., are small insects (approximately 1/6 inch long) that occur in many parts of the world. They are generally regarded as beneficial because they prey upon numerous kinds of insect and mite pests of turf, ornamental and agricultural crops. Big-eyed bugs are among those insects receiving research attention in Florida (and elsewhere) for their value as predators. To aid in identification of big-eyed bugs in Florida, a key to adults and late instar nymphs is provided in this publication.
