Leptoglossus oppositus
Copyright © 2006 Cotinis

Leptoglossus oppositus
Durham County, North Carolina, USA
August 27, 2006
Size: 18 mm
Detail shows the strong parallel veins on front wings (folded back here), typical of the family Coreidae. Note also the abdominal margin is raised--the folded wings lying in the depression formed by the margin--typical of many species in this family (1).
(Again, these are for thumbnails on the guide page for the family.)
