B. sulcata? - Brochymena sulcata South Phoenix, along the Rio Salado, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA September 22, 2019 Size: 14 mm
Saw this at a little river cleanup even with the Audobon society.
The first non-Thyanta stink bug I've seen since moving to the Phoenix area. Seems to best match photos of B. sulcata on here but it looks a bit different from the ones I would see in NM. Figure that could just be some regional variation or maybe this one is an older individual that has experienced some fading since the wing membranes seem faded.
Images of this individual: tag all
