This is one of my favorite bugs. I love them cause they are so observant and curious. I'm in Tempe arizona and I find these all over the place. What's the name of this bug? They are all black with very slim body. The butt of this bug stretches further than its wings. It's wings are a grayish black.
This is a male web spinner, an insect in the order Embioptera. The wingless females usually are found within the silken tunnels that they construct with the silk glands on their front legs.
