Mirids: A family affair? - Engytatus modestus
Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
June 8, 2006
My guess is adults and a juvenile of the same species. Earlier, I posted what I think is the same thing as the little guy in hopes of an ID. (See comment below.)

Don´t ask me for the nymph . . .
. . . but adults are again Dicyphus sp. (probably).

I'm going to request a guide page for Dicyphus
I have often seen those nymphs in the company of the mirids. I realize nymphs are tough to ID, but is there some hope on the nymph if I furnish a better photo?

(Written 1-6-07 - Didn't get the guide page; still working on it.)
