Red bug - Ranzovius
Huachuca Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
May 3, 2009
Size: 1 mm
Found in the web of a social spider (Anelosimus arizona), apparently as a commensal or kleptoparasite. About half a dozen of these converged on a fly in the web within an hour of the spiders killing the fly. They were observed in many webs of this kind of spider.
