A key to families of British bugs (Insecta, Hemiptera)

This AIDGAP identification guide should enable non-specialists to identify the adults of most British bugs (Hemiptera) to family level.

Designed for use with unprepared specimens at low magnification, some of the scale insects (Coccoidea) and aphids (Aphidoidea) require more sophisticated techniques, so they are beyond the scope of this guide. However, lists of the characteristics of the main aphid families are given.
