True Bugsbeetle in arizona
These beetles were found on a tree (mesquite or acacia) in Tucson AZ… Any idea what they are? Sorry for the poor resolution, they are taken with a cell phone.

Hi Cathie,
Our theory is that a blurry photo is better than no photo. Your image shows one adult Giant Mesquite Bug, Thasus acutangulus, surrounded by a group of immature nymphs. It is the first photo we have received of the adult insect.
