is this a seed bug?
New Mexico, USA
February 16, 2006
Size: 7 mm
This bug was found in my parents' RV. They have been traveling mostly in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, but less recently in California too. These bugs started showing up about 2 months ago (sometime in December 2005).

No, it´s not!
The last antennal segment is a little club-like, which is a characteristic feature of some Rhopalidae.
