bug - Mimoceps insignis - Female
Cross Plains, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
July 10, 2010
Size: 3.5mm
Found in sweep of grass in open field. Wonder if it might be a Collaria nymph? There were a lot of adult Collaria in the field. But then other Collaria nymphs I found last year did not show this color or have such large wings in the nymphal stage.
