Ground bug or groundbug is a term that has not been used with a great deal of precision. It has been used to refer to the following Pentatomorpha:

  • the lygaeoid bugs (Lygaeoidea):
  • Heterogastridae, for example Heterogaster urticae (Fabricius, 1775) - the "Nettle Ground Bug"
  • Lygaeidae
  • Piesmatidae
  • Others:
  • Cydnidae more commonly known as the "burrowing bugs", and some as "ground pearls", but notably Microporus nigrita - "Black Ground Bug"
  • Dipsocoridae, known as the "jumping ground bugs"
