Found this guy hanging out on a walkway in Cozumel.

Any ideas on what this critter is?

LOL.. Anyone?

The more I look at it, the more it looks like one of the True Bugs. Stinkbug juvinile maybe?

Something in the hemiptera order?

my guess would be family Miridae? though i cant be certain because its only a nymph at the moment any chance you can get a picture of the underside and maybe a macro of the head?

unfortunately, I was only in Cozumel for a few hours. Im now back in California.

This was the only image I captured.

I have emaile a copy of the image, along with what description I could give to Perdue Univ. entymology dpt. to see if I can elicit a responce from them..

Interesting to see what happens..
