Hi Jaymee,
This is an immature Stink Bug, and immature specimens are often much more difficult to positively identify than the winged adults. We did find a close match on BugGuide from Corpus Christi, Texas, but it is not identified to the species level either. We will continue to research this, especially as the numbers are so plentiful. More searching has led us to believe this is a Conchuela Bug, Chlorochroa ligata, which is pictured on BugGuide as an adult. On the Death Valley.net site the adult is described as: “The conchuela is a large black stink bug with a reddish marginal border and a reddish spot in the middle of the back.” If you get a photo of a winged adult, please send it our way. You might also want to try taking it to the nature center in Joshua Tree National Park to see if a ranger has any ideas. Nice French Tips.
