Agoriidae

Agoriidae is a family of true bugs belonging to the order Hemiptera. These insects are primarily found in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. Members of this family are characterized by their often brightly colored and patterned bodies, which can serve as camouflage or warning coloration. They are commonly found on vegetation, where they feed on plant sap. The life cycle of Agoriidae typically involves incomplete metamorphosis, with nymphs resembling smaller, wingless versions of the adults. Species within this family can vary in size and shape, but many share a somewhat flattened body form. Their feeding habits can sometimes make them considered minor pests in agricultural settings, though they are not generally a significant threat to crops. Further research into the specific ecological roles and behaviors of many Agoriidae species is ongoing.
