G. atricolor Montandon
Merrill Sweet det.
his comment: "not closely related to the Eastern black uliginosus. Convergent coloration. Europe has its Geocoris ater, I think every continent has evolved black and pale species. I almost have to look at the locality label to be sure of the species, so similar they are! Cute bugs none the less."

so it's a more valuable find, Natalie: we had just a couple before

Moved from Geocoris uliginosus.
