Thanks Stephen and Boris

I found this under a log, and it was a fast runner.

Shape

Hi Tom,
the general shape of this bug immediately reminded me of Nabicula, though the head looks sort of different. I'm pretty sure that it's a Nabid, though. Let's see what others have to say concerning the head.

Suggestion

A Pagasa, perhaps?

… Stephen Luk, 30 July, 2008 - 11:04pm
