Coreid nymph on prickly pear - Chelinidea tabulata

Coreid nymph on prickly pear - Chelinidea tabulata
Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas, USA
July 15, 2008
Found on prickly pear, right next to an agave with adult coreids that I believe were Acanthocephala thomasi:

(3/14/08 Note: I had originally said this bug was on agave, but taking another look at the image it's obviously on a prickly pear; you can see part of the spines in the corners of this cropped image. It seems to be feeding, so probably unrelated to the adults.)

Thanks Valerie--that explains why I couldn't find a match before!

Chelinidea tabulata
These nymphs are pretty distinctive - always the same color and shape, and never more than a few in any given location. They can even be mixed in with lots of C. vittiger in Austin, TX, where both species occur.

Interesting.
The flattened, leaf-like legs rule-out Piezogaster nymphs, but it looks odd for an Acanthocephala, too....
