Petite Stinkbug

Petite Stinkbug
DeSoto, Dallas County, Texas, USA
March 22, 2008
Size: tiny, about 4mm
Found on Parsley. (It pays to search your organic herbs from the garden before using!) I found just one Cosmopepla on the Guide that seemed closest (including the hairs), and one Trichopepla that fit the size. Cedar Creek says that some Trichopeplas have hairs.

Then clearly it is one of the "peplas." :-) Moving to family page for now.
