Miridae - Neurocolpus age 26 days - Neurocolpus
Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin, USA
June 21, 2008
Size: 7mm
Is this a full adult? He can now fly, so I'm going to take a final photo on 6/22 and then set him free. Hopefully these photos will be sufficient to make a specific ID (although that appears to be difficult with Neurocolpus from what I have seen in the guide). Any thoughts on the fluid globule? ....drop of water vs. elimination from the bug?

Fluid globule
I come across the darnedest things when I enter my name into the search box. I was directed here from this post. Anyway, I'll put in my vote for "elimination from the bug." It looks awfully yellow for a water droplet. Here's a more brownish liquid secretion that definitely came from a bug, for whatever it's worth:
