Toad Bug: Gelastocoridae - Nerthra sp - Nerthra stygica
Middleburg, Clay County, Florida, USA
April 24, 2010
Size: 7.0mm
Found in leaf litter, nowhere near wetlands/water. A very unique bug, most impressive
under a scope. Species determination would be nice if possible. I have no handy references
for this family.
