Scott's Valley A4 - Microplax albofasciata

what a treat -- thanks for the addition!

terrific call, Ken; great pics, Dustin

one of my favorite bug families... rather nicely represented in open landscapes (steppes to deserts) of the defunct Soviet empire where they first drew my attention as a young insect collector back in the early 1970s

Moved from Oxycarenidae.

Wow!

Lygaeoidea I suspect. I'm not finding anything quite like it in the Guide, though. Hope somebody recognizes this beauty.
