Why Frass ?
Why the frassing? This is a great image and it is the only one from LA thus far, adding to important data info.

Notonecta irrorata
I'd say yes, Notonecta irrorata ... that would be my call based on the wing pattern and black scutellum.

Thank you very much...
for helping confirm this. I have had a few bad judgment calls on identifying lately so I figured I would get a second opinion. I was a little more unsure when I saw the only other examples on BugGuide were from Massachusetts.
