Red-Shouldered Bug - Mating Pair - Jadera haematoloma - Male Female
Wichita, Sedgewick County, Kansas, USA

Isn't one of these a nymph? And isn't that odd?

brachypterous female?
"After a brief ceremony at the mairie, I took her to the new apartment I had rented and, somewhat to her surprise, had her wear, before I touched her, a girl's plain nightshirt that I had managed to filch from the linen closet of an orphanage. I derived some fun from that nuptial night and had the idiot in hysterics by sunrise. But reality soon asserted itself. The bleached curl revealed its melanic root; the down turned to prickles on a shaved shin; ... and presently, instead of a pale little gutter girl, Humbert Humbert had on his hands a large, puffy, short-legged, big-breasted and practically brainless baba."

sorry for being such a fun killer, Ron.

Oddly, I vaguely remember some of the middle of the quote.
