Aquatic and Semiaquatic Heteroptera (True Bugs) of Michigan

Introduction

Our current state of knowledge about distribution of Heteroptera is generally good, thanks to some good survey work by Abbott, Hungerford and others. Much of the information contained herein comes from a very useful catalog of North American Heteroptera edited by Henry and Froeschner (1988), supplemented by other references and specimens in the UMMZ-Insect Division collection. Species that may occur in Michigan are noted with nearby state localities from which certified records have been published.
