Lyctocoris stali (Reuter 1871), i believe
Moved from Minute Pirate Bugs.

It looks like a Acompocoris species.
Although I could not see all the genus in North America, I think its head structure and the body shape are very similar to the Acompocoris species.

hmm...
Acompocoris is a member of a different group with uniform antennomeres; this one, with thin antennomeres 3&4, is closer to Lyctocoris

Also, I used to find some Anthocorids under tree barks
I never seen them any other place before. ^^

I've discovered there are all sorts of critters living under tree bark....especially in winter. Very cool!

It's a Minute Pirate Bug (Anthocoridae)...
But, I don't know of the Genus or species...
