Moved from Large Milkweed Bug.

This has to be Lygaeus--either L. kalmii or L. turcicus (see John's comment below regarding the dark lines on the thorax).

milkweed bug
Its something like the milkweed bug, large or small? Lygaeidae (seed bugs)... either Oncopeltus fasciatus or Lygaeus kalmii I think?

I thought
2 lines on thorax meant Lygaeus kalmii?
