What’s this? A number of these were inhabiting a mesquite tree here in Tucson on a pleasant summer day, about 110 deg.. Striking colors, length about 1 inch, with very long antenna that have a small disk about midway.
We wrote to Eric Eaton who identified this colorful Hemipteran as Thasus neocalifornicus (formerly T. gigas).
