dried rotten apple bug B, a mirid?
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA

Was either in or on a partly dessicated rotten apple that I picked apart looking for fruit beetles. This one has to be a nymph!

Miridae?
Looks like a mirid plant bug to me.

I'm woefully ignorant about bugs,
so I would buy most anything you came up with. Thanks.

Miridae.
Well, the swollen hind femora ("thighs"), the rather delicate antennae, and the "leggy," overall appearance definitely suggest a mirid. I may be wrong, but moving to guide page for now:-)
