Seed bugs
Scientific name: Rhyparochromidae
Description
Contrary to the common misconception that all small insects are harmful to plants, many species within Rhyparochromidae play a pivotal role in seed dispersal and population control of other insect species. This vital ecological function helps maintain the balance within plant communities. Interestingly, their attraction to lights often brings them into human habitats, leading to the myth that they are home invaders, when in reality, their presence is usually accidental and harmless to our environments.
