Summary: Thirty-three genera and 120 species of Hemiptera, family Coreidae (commonly called the squash bug family), are known to occur in the United States and Canada. Almost the entire Florida fauna occurs above the ground both in the nymph and adult stage. They are predominantly sap suckers on stems and fruits. The variation of feeding habits causes some species to become destructive to specific crops. The most injurious species appear to be the squash bug Anasa tristis (which is frequently a serious pest on cultivated cucurbits), other species damage early varieties of citrus including tangerine and oranges.
