It's a Cymoninus species in Ninidae...

and probably C. notabilis.

See http://www.insectimages.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=5199088.

It requires a new family page. Previously, Ninidae and Cymidae were two tribes forming a Subfamily Cyminae. I don't know why they were independent from Lygaeidae, but I feel newly generated families are too small. Maybe, Ninidae in North America includes only a few species, possibly only one species.

Thanks

WonGun. I guess I'm glad I didn't frass this! I'll be on the lookout to see if I can get a better photo.

Moved

Moved from True Bugs. It is a Rhopalid. Thickenend last antennal segment is a discriminating charackter vs. similar Lygaeoidea.

Not sure.

Not sure if this is a rhopalid, or one of the seed bugs....but I, for one, really like this image! Please don't frass it.
