Boris is here! - Boros unicolor
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 9, 2006
Size: 9.2 mm
That's Boris the borid ;-) Boris is a bit pale yet, having just eclosed from pupa overnight. I'll post more pix when he/she attains full color.

Interesting coincidence that on the very day I add adult images to this family that has been represented by larval images only for about a year, I find we have a new family (Scrapti*idae) for bugguide represented only by larval images.

Images of this individual: tag all
