Mystery bug found in Tucson AZ
Hi, we’ve been trying to ID this insect on your site for several hours to no avail. We found it yesterday evening crawling across the ground in Tucson, AZ. Thanks!

Hi Connie,
This is a Giant Mesquite Bug, Thasus acutangulus. We get more requests to identify the colorful nymphs than we do the winged adults.
