Does anyone recognize which genus this plant bug belongs to? I'm thining Calocoris but I could not find any that had this pattern. It certainly has the right shape. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Not the same species, but genus could be Ilnacora

Adelphocoris lineolatus similar, but has 2 black spots on the shoulders

Yep, wallaby1 .. Sure nuff. I see some of the differences.

Oh no...not another case of the Ichneumonids! Just when I thought I had the genus down, you have introduced two more that could fit.

Look carefully at this Adelphocoris lineolatus. Put side by side all the marks, eyes, spotting on legs, etc are there. It is a little over exposed by flash perhaps, but I feel this is it

I agree with wallaby1, your bug is Adelphocoris lineolatus

Wallaby, you've done it again! What would we do without you?!

Thanks for the vote of confidence Todd! Do points mean prizes?
