I think I got it
I think this is Rhinocapsus vanduzeei See: https://bugguide.net/node/view/241502 where it's states "Clypeus, jugum, and lorum black; A2 pale on basal half, black on apical half; femora spotted with black". The black femoral spots are clearly visible as well as the black clypeus, which are not so in the very similar R. rubricans: https://bugguide.net/node/view/241501

Your skills
How did you find this? What did you pick up on to lead you to this? I want to learn what to look for.

I used the Advanced Search function...
...to look for Miridae posted for NC in May and June.

Click on the Search button at the top of the page...
...without entering any search criteria (just leave the field blank). You'll be taken to another page, and you'll see the "advanced search" link there.
