Taking the Heteroptera Overview plunge!

OK, well, I think I may be a little under experienced (and also somewhat crazy) but I've decided to attempt to create a visual overview of Suborder Heteroptera for the Info page. I will include a taxonomic framework which will group insects by Infraorder, Superfamily, and then Family (with accompanying representative images for the genera therein). I plan on using the taxonomic information provided by the ITIS website, so if anyone has an issue with their structuring, please let me know now!

I expect that this will take me a fair bit of time to accomplish and I will definitely want some expert input and general commentary on how to fine tune it once I have completed my initial work. I am posting my intentions in this forum primarily to make certain that no other editor is currently working on this project already. Also, if there was any other editor that had similar designs on working on this, let me know so that we can perhaps collaborate. Thanks, everybody!

Good idea...
...and I will review the forums as best I can for ideas/suggestions. However, I want to make certain that it is clear that all I am intending to do is create a visual overview on the guide page which would be organized around the actual taxonomic structure for this suborder. (As per suggestions such as Robin's in this forum topic.) I will not be moving any actual images within the guide, nor doing any actual restructuring of the taxonomic tree as it currently exists.
