Harlequin Bug Nymph - Murgantia histrionica
San Joaquin Marsh, Irvine, Orange County, California, USA
July 2, 2006
Identified by image in the Guide. Saw one of these on the previous day and didn't realize it wasn't adult until later. (Was primarily shooting a mating pair.) Went back next day and took these photos of a single individual. Went back another day later, and several nymphs were active.
