The broad objectives of the International Heteropterists’ Society (IHS) are to promote systematic, biogeographic, and biological studies of Heteroptera and to cultivate cooperative research among heteropterists throughout the world. The Society is organized and operated exclusively for scientific and educational purposes.

The Society holds a meeting every four years at locations around the world, where members give presentations on their work and discuss the directions of the Society. The Society’s website provides an online portal for distribution of information about bugs, including a world bibliography, taxon pages, and membership details.

Next True Bugs Tuesday!

Dear fellow heteropterists,

The next True Bug Tuesday seminar is on February 25th at 11AM Los Angeles, noon in Arizona, 9AM in Honolulu, 3PM New York, 8PM Berlin, and 6AM (next day) in Sydney. Drs Jason Botz and Dan Polhemus will speak about Miridae and Nabidae, respectively. The flyer and zoom info are below. Please feel free to forward to colleagues who are currently not IHS members.

Please reach out to one of us if you are interested in presenting after April 2025, we are always looking for volunteers!

This series of talks is free for IHS members and non-members and is meant to enhance communication among researchers and students interested in heteropteran systematics and biodiversity, attract new members to the IHS, and enhance inclusivity. We aim to maximize diversity and inclusivity of speakers and talks with respect to geography, ethnicity, gender, taxonomic group, and research questions and approaches.
