| This project came about as a result of several Hemiptera groups on the internet photo-hosting utility Flickr. These provided an opportunity for interested parties to pool their images of British species, with the intention of illustrating as many as possible. The creation of an independent website to host this content was the next logical step, allowing a more structured identification
resource to be developed. At the time of writing (2007), the two Flickr groups for Heteroptera and Homoptera are still active and many of the images used on this website can be found there. Please feel free to email us with any comments, suggestions or identification queries, or if you have photos to contribute. We appreciate all feedback, which helps us to improve the quality of the
site.
