Good sleuthing.
There is one posting of Apiomerus spissipes from Iowa, although from far western Iowa. But there are no nymphs posted.
There are no Apiomerus crassipes photos posted for Iowa but there are photos from both Wisconsin and Illinois plus nymphs.
You’re probably correct but just in case I’ll move these to family.
Thanks for the help.
Again.
