Orange Bug - Rasahus hamatus

Orange Bug - Rasahus hamatus
Jonesboro, Craighead County, Arkansas, USA
March 31, 2017
No wings, so a nymph?

We took a quick look through the
Clem C.S., Swanson D.R., Ray C.H. paper on Rediviidae (1) , but we didn't notice anything on sexing the bugs.

Nymph or brachypterous female. I won't venture to guess which.

 
.
Ken, Are these guys sexually dimorphic?
Edit: I guess only females can be brachypterous ? Otherwise, is it possible to distinguish the sexes from photos of full-winged adults?

 
Well, I can't.
Others might know the secret, though. :)
