Long necked seed bug
Hello,
I’ve had occasion to reference your site for tough little critters more than a couple of times, and thought I’d give something back. I found on true bugs page five the story of the dorm resident with an odd little discovery in the room. You went on to identify it as a long necked seed bug, and the silhouette resembles a bug I found and photographed in front of the house a little while ago (I left the porch light on to see if I could get any interesting moths to come looking). I thought I’d send along a clearer picture of one, if that is indeed what it is – I identified it as a true bug because of the mouthpart. I found the bug in central Maryland. Thanks for the information and enjoyment!

Hi Nat,
Thanks so much for providing our site with this much needed image of a Long Necked Seed Bug in the genus Myodocha. BugGuide has many images of this genus.
