Bug Under Rock - Brochymena dilata
Copyright © 2009 Richard C. Hoyer

Bug Under Rock - Brochymena dilata
Atascosa Peak, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
February 17, 2009
Size: 10-11 mm
This bug (nymph?) was under a rock, presumably somewhat dormant for the winter as it didn't move, on a rocky slope in the understory of open Madrean oak-pinyon-juniper woodland not far off the Atascosa Peak trail.

Great news, Richard! i grew to like your pic and did suspect something special -- and it indeed turned out to be the only image of this species in the guide. So, many thanks -- and pls keep an eye out for them suckers: we need more photos of this apparently uncommon species!

Moved from Brochymena.

Thanks to all.
I'm assuming that getting to species level isn't possible with this photo. But maybe it can be narrowed down based on location?
