Red-shouldered bug the short-winged form (brachyptera) usually is 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in) long. Soapberry bug is a species of true bug that lives throughout the United States and south to northern South America. It feeds on seeds within the soapberry plant family.
Yet more critters from a 2006 trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas (USA). This batch was all found in the vicinity of a maintenance shed at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. The shed has security lights at night, so was a good place to find lingering insects in daytime. (A park ranger escorted us to this area, normally off-limits to visitors.)
