Ant-mimic bug - Pamillia? - Pamillia behrensii
Izaak Walton Park, Bishop, Inyo County, California, USA
March 15, 2015
Size: ca 3-5 mm
I brushed this bug from a tree trunk, along with some of the ants that were abundant at this site. I'm including some photos with the apparent model species (?) of ant. Although they look pretty different under magnification, the resemblance was pretty striking with only the naked eye. Looks very similar to Pamillia?

Thanks v -
do you want me to move the other two linked images (with the ants) here too, or maybe post them to "Ants" to try to get an ID for them? They got left behind in Heteroptera.

Never mind - I decided to move one here and the other to Ants. Feel free to move things around prn.
