Leptoglossus oppositus
Durham County, North Carolina, USA
August 27, 2006
Size: 18 mm
Found at a lighted wall, I believe. Captured and posed for some anatomical photographs--length measured in place--tip of folded wings to tip of tylus was 18 mm. (We now have a length for the guide page.)

Note the expanded hind tibiae and the front wings with many veins, here folded back.
