True Bug immature
Copyright © 2010 Lynn Monroe

True Bug immature
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA
April 29, 2010
Size: Probably about 7 mm
This immature was found in exactly the same environment as http://bugguide.net/node/image/390397, Pseudopamera prob nitidula, on the underside of rocks on damp sand, in Borrego Palm Canyon. On three rocks there were a couple of immatures underneath. One rock, however, had two immatures plus an adult Pseudopamera nitidula. Is it possible to determine if the immatures and adults are the same species?

another very nice photo! immatures are poorly known, alas
this is for sure a special myodochine [same tribe as that adult bug], and if you encounter both en masse in the very same spot it would be reasonable to associate them as conspecific, but otherwise even experts are usually reluctant to guess
