Beetle? - Stygnocoris sabulosus
Logy Bay, Northeast Avalon, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada

This 'bug' was alive, but just barely, when I photographed it. It did not survive. I found it on the concrete beside our garage. Any ID?

this one really looks like . . .
Stygnocoris sabulosus (from Lygaeidae in the widest sense).

Bug.
Actually, this really IS a "true bug," order Hemiptera, and something in the "Lygaeoidea," the collection of ten familes that were all once simply the Lygaeidae. Nice image, and an expert can probably place this one to at least family.
