Shieldbacked Pine Seed Bug - Tetyra bipunctata

Shieldbacked Pine Seed Bug - Tetyra bipunctata
Snowhill Road north of Cabin Branch Creek, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
November 1, 2007
Size: 15 mm
I found this shield-backed bug fluttering in a lighted breezeway in the morning--it had probably come to a light that evening. It is very rounded in profile.

Only the second for BugGuide to date. Identification from the other image in the guide and Slater and Baranowski (1).
