Pentatomid - Stiretrus anchorago
Copyright © 2007 Machele White

Pentatomid - Stiretrus anchorago
Lady Lake, Lake County, Florida, USA
November 8, 2007
Size: 9mm
I found an image that looks like a match from Hannah under Stiretrus anchorago, but this one seems to be a vegetarian, there are plenty of moth larvae in the same area. The plant is ragweed.

I also think its Stiretrus
and, you know, they drink sometimes - and then use plants to do so.
