Can anyone ID this bug for me? I usually have terrible infestations of Milkweed bugs on my MW, but he doesn't look like them.
thanks
CLOSED: Bug on Milkweed -but not "official" milkweed bug
This is a firefly (Coleoptera: Lampyridae); likely in the genus Photinus - see http://tinyurl.com/2aa7euf for an example. They are general predators on other small arthropods.
I didn't recognize him! Thanks so much. You are a valued resource here at DG!
