Before I add a new genus to the bug file, I would like to have someone help verify ...

Do you think this guy is a Clouded Plant Bug? He looks very similar to images on bugguide, but his color is slightly different and I don't think he's as large as some of their bugs. I found him on lily stamen.

Reference: http://bugguide.net/node/view/7460

Thoughts?
Thanks

Yes Linda, I agree. It looks a very close match to Neurocolpus nubilus: http://bugguide.net/node/view/96505/bgpage

It isn't a new genus for BugFiles, we had a blank entry for Neurocolpus sp. already.

Since that had no images or data stored, I have modified it to become the Clouded Plant Bug Neurocolpus nubilus here: http://davesgarden.com/bf/go/841/

Please add your image to it,

Ken
