Cimicomorpha
|
|
The family Miridae is the largest in the subordo
Heteroptera. Mirids are mostly phytophagous, but many of them enrich their
diet with animal food. Some are even obligatory predators of aphids, scale
insects and other small arthropods, their eggs and larvae. Some are used in
biological pest control, while some others could be pests.
Družina Miridae je največja v podredu Heteroptera. Travniške
stenice so večinoma rastlinojede, toda mnoge obogatijo svojo prehrano z
živalsko hrano. Nekatere so celo obvezni plenilci rastlinskih uši, kaparjev
in drugih majhnih členonožcev, njihovih jajc in ličink. Nekatere
vrste se uporabljajo v biološkem zatiranju škodljivcev, nekatere druge pa
lahko nastopajo kot škodljivci. |
