#aradus

Hello! I think it’s a flat bug in the family Aradidae. Aradus sp. likely? Maybe Aradus lugubris.

Is this what you wanted

Flat bug, Aradus sp. by Anita363 Found hanging out on a lilac leaf. ID help needed. 9 mm. https://flic.kr/p/2iXnzN1

This flat bug (Aradus crenatus, I think) was crawling on the foundation of my shed back in May 2017. I did not realize at the time that it was a new species for the yard. I guess you never know what you’ll find in the archives!

This neat little guy was waiting for me on the door to the shed last weekend. It's a flat bug, a very appropriate name given the look of him, probably Aradus robustus. Flat bugs typically hide under the bark of trees. Maybe this one came from my wood pile.
