Plant Bug - Plagiognathus moerens
Copyright © 2010 Michelle McCullough

Plant Bug - Plagiognathus moerens
Apple Valley, San Bernardino County, California, USA
May 10, 2010
Size: 1/32"
At first glance, this just seemed like a tiny speck. As I zoomed in I realized it was moving. I do not know what this is at all. It was out in the middle of the day. It was inside the flowers on this plant.
thanks for help with the ID.

it took four people...
...like carrying Hamlet's body; those were captains, though.
and they didn't move it three different directions, either.
so it's a bad analogy.

Oops!
There have been many movements. It's Plagiognathus moerens.

OOPS!
Ok, since I am obviously a newbie at this I will let you all move this where you need to for now. I will take some time and familiarize myself with the process to avoid anymore issues.
thanks for all the help.

you moved it alright---
but the bug was already on the right species page: WonGun's move was the identification you were seeking -- now please move the image back to the Plagiognathus moerens page where it belongs :]

AND: it's 'planT' bug -- my typo, my bad, sorry

no rush -- the move will expedite the ID process
...so it's just for your benefit.
feel free to contact me offline with any questions [e.g., should you have trouble moving pix, editing the form, etc.]
