Collect if you see these again
(I didn't see it on any of your lists, unless I missed it)

 
I found another one
A female I believe. I am now just putting things in vials and making a list with collection date and photo number, which means you'll be getting some more common bugs that I might have set free in the past. Just discard the ones that aren't of interest.

 
I think I did set it free, sorry
Will keep a look out for more. I've been catching so many bugs lately that I am having a hard time on the specimen end. I had been waiting till I posted them to put them in alcohol so I could give a bugguide photo number to them for accounting purposes. I need to figure out another accounting method since I now have way too many to post them in a timely fashion. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hoplistoscelis
adult male; you can see the well developed genital capsule

Moved for expert attention
Moved from True Bugs.

Not sure if it's a nymph or a brachypterous adult.

 
Thanks Ken
I had the same thoughts when I first looked at it. Odd one for sure...
