RonnF Senior Member  More info | Sep 03, 2008 20:56 | #1 I took these two shots of an insect which was on a branch of Mexican Sage in my backyard. It was about 3/16 of an inch long. I'm located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm sure some of the insect experts in this forum have seen this guy before but I was unable to find a match online. Please let me know the identity if you can recognize it.

Sep 04, 2008 23:34 | #5 Thanks, Brian. While trying to find the specific name for the plant bug I photographed, one site I found had this statement: "The Miridae are the most species rich family-level grouping of true bugs, with approximately 10,000 described species recognized as of 2000.". So I'm guessing it's not likely I'll find an exact match.

before. But I need one now. 
- might be a bit easier with this one with that green heart shaped bit on it's scutellum (think that's what it is called).
