Squash bug - Euthochtha galeator
Columbia, Bonnie View Nature Preserve, Boone County, Missouri, USA
June 19, 2016
Size: 2-3 mm
Eggs collected on wild blackberry (Rubus sp.) and the nymphs on the associated picture are what hatched from them. I assume squash bug, possibly Anasa sp., but looking for help. I transferred nymphs to a zucchini plant in an enclosure and none survived, so these pictures are all I have to go on.
