Metylophorus purus

Metylophorus purus
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
September 12, 2011
Found lounging on the back porch late-night. There were several of these of varying sizes, say from about 2 to 5 mm BL gathered on the porch jostling with all the other insects for their place near the light. I feel sure this is conterminus, but I defer to the more knowledgeable folks for species ID.
