Giant Mesquite Bug Nymph - Thasus neocalifornicus

Giant Mesquite Bug Nymph - Thasus neocalifornicus
Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
July 2, 2009
Size: At Least 1"
Spotted in the early morning on a Mesquite Tree. Can't believe the coloration and patterns on this one.
It looks like a Leaf-footed Bug, size about like a Giant Mesquite Bug. Is this a nymph?
