Fly or Hemipteran? - Saldoida slossonae
Coastal Plain- North Carolina, North Carolina, USA

Weird looking insect. Can't see any halteres but only has 2 wings. Long mouthpart. What is this? It was captured in a pitfall trap.

Hmmm
I can't find an exact match, but these antennae look similar, head is different though... Definitely Hemiptera, but perhaps the shore bugs are closer.

Looks like Heteroptera
thought it might be a shore bug Saldidae, but couldn't find a match
