Sennius discolor(?) - Sennius discolor
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
September 8, 2022
Size: ~2-3mm
Found many of these small bruchids on Senna lindheimeriana at the LBJ Wildflower Center, as part of the faunal survey run by Val Bugh.

Boris Büche believes this is likely to be Sennius discolor due to size + color + locality + host plant
