- Heterogastridae, for example Heterogaster urticae (Fabricius, 1775) - the "Nettle Ground Bug"[2]
- Lygaeidae
- Piesmatidae
- Others:
- Cydnidae more commonly known as the "burrowing bugs", and some as "ground pearls", but notably Microporus nigrita - "Black Ground Bug"[3]
- Dipsocoridae, known as the "jumping ground bugs"[4]
