Small mystery bug - Hypera postica

Small mystery bug - Hypera postica
Blanco, Blanco County, Texas, USA
January 21, 2013
I've found numerous of these inside our house (dining room near back door to patio) and also outside on our front porch. They're small, less than a 1/4 inch long.

Nonnative to Texas, eh?

 
non-native to the western hemisphere
