We often hear about bugs, especially during this late summer period of the year, that infiltrate our homes and drive many of us crazy. What can we know about these animals? True bugs (Heteroptera) are a species-rich suborder, with nearly 900 species living in Hungary. What makes bugs often come into focus is due to a few species. I would like to briefly introduce those that often fly into homes. If you have also seen any of them, record the observation and you can get identification from us.

Two species of seed bugs live in Hungary. The black-and-red-bug (Lygaeus equestris) and the Lygaeus simulans. They are very similar to each other, and it is not possible, or very difficult, to distinguish between the two species with the naked eye. In this article, I will try to highlight the differences necessary for species identification. Both species are common in Hungary.

In late autumn and spring, when walking in forests and fields, we often see large, dark-colored, hairy caterpillars crossing the road or feeding on some herbaceous plant. People familiar with folk language easily call these "papmacska", but this name is only used for tiger moth caterpillars, primarily the garden tiger moth (Arctia caja) caterpillar, while the above description fits more species. With this article, I would like to help with their identification and distinction.

This article was created to help distinguish between the Brown marmorated stink bug - Halyomorpha halys and the mottled shieldbug - Rhaphigaster nebulosa.

This year, a hoax about a so-called "kissing bug" that spreads disease is circulating among Hungarian websites. With this article, I would like to dispel the fears that arise from this. In short: we don't need to be afraid of it, such a dangerous animal does not live in Hungary, or even in Europe.
