red-spotted yellow bug - Tropidosteptes

red-spotted yellow bug - Tropidosteptes
Ailsa Craig, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada
July 2, 2006
Size: about 5 mm
attracted to light; perhaps a variation of the bug in my previous post but with less red on the pronotum?
The white area is reflected light; the wingtips were translucent, almost clear.

Now, i agree with you.
I could not find other genera that look like this. ^^

It seems similar to your #61474, but
I am not sure since this bug is hiding his head. ^^

Miridae.
Family is Miridae. May not be able to ID better than that, as it is an enormous family, with great individual variation within each species.

Okay, thanks
Yes, I see the cuneus now, faintly outlined on each forewing; image moved from Hemiptera page to Miridae page.
