      1. That does look good for it, doesn’t it. It had me fooled. I was thinking it might be an earlier instar of the other one, which apparently isn’t a seed bug at all…. So far BugGuide agrees with you - Lygus. Posted 4 years ago
        1. Yep - they look similar, but are different. So many insects are like that! Posted 4 years ago
