True Bugs Hi, I live in Scottsdale Arizona and I have had some little black beetle bugs living on my porch post in the back yard for about a week, they stared little and solid black, developed a red heart looking spot on their back, and have now malted their black exoskeleton and replaced it with a pink one. I assume the pink is new skin exoskeleton and will turn black. Very strange little critters, is there anything you can tell me about them. Thanks,
Roger
Hi Roger,
This is not a beetle, but a True Bug or Hemipteran. We believe it is an immature Bordered Plant Bug in the genus Largus. BugGuide has a very similar image.
