Mozena? lateral view at Mesquite - Mozena arizonensis
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA
April 16, 1996
Size: BL~20 mm
This coreid was seen in Hellhole Canyon feeding on mesquite. It seems to be a Mozena lookalike, since no Mozena species is listed from California.. . This insect is not uncommon on Mesquite from April to June in the low sandy desert where mesquites grow. For a dorsal view of another individual and more commentary, see #561459. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
