| |  Wiki's messed-up page of Hemiptera!
Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this - Hemiptera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
... 
At least the main body of writing reads as it should. Maybe this is a silly question, so please forgive me - but what Hemipterans feed on small vertebrates? 
Take care, Jason

the odd thing is that the rest is perfectly good and detailed. you'd expect more mistakes from someone who could make such a gross one |

What about aquatic bugs do they pick off tadpoles and the like?This is the only way that it makes sense. |

...yes. I was wondering about more tropical species. How about Mantids? Then again, I know little about them.
Have you seen the mentions of 'chocalate', Adam? It seems Wiki can be edited without a free account, even.

Mantids are order Dictyoptera with cockroaches aren't they? |

Yes mantids aren't Hemiptera. Agree some aquatic hemipterans may take fish fry/tiny fish/tadpoles which certainly qualify as small vertebrates. |

Right... thanks for the correction. Obviously I see now they don't have a rostrum, just an ill thought-out suggestion! | | |
