Abstract :Heteroptera (Hemiptera) are commonly called "true bugs”. They appear as a rather diverse is known. Present numerous adaptations to aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Although Heteroptera include effective predators, they have long been known as plant-damaging. Heteropteran fauna is rather abundant. It owns wide and rich family and species diversity. It has an im-portant role in ecosystems. The include both pest and benefit species and they have a potential to be used in biodiversity re-searches.Keywords : Agroekosistem, Biyoçeşitlilik, Biyoindikator, Heteroptera, Hemiptera
