Pyrrhocoris apterus - Full Winged Morph - Pyrrhocoris apterus - Male
Ogden, Weber County, Utah, USA
July 10, 2023
Size: 9.6mm Width: 4mm
Full winged morph of Pyrrhocoris apterus. Probably a male using my original post on this species, https://bugguide.net/node/view/2264939.

I have collected 3 specimen of the full winged morph. The hindwings are fully developed as well, I will be preserving one with the wings spread. Which I will upload when completed. These images are of the freshly caught specimen, this specimen was obtained today, the date of this post.

Images created via focus stacking through Zerene Stacker.
