Field Notes

Description:

Before you pass off a paper thin moving piece of bark with legs as a figment of your imagination, take another look. It might be a Flat Bug, in the family Aradidae. Aradus robustus is characterized by its dark coloration, the iridescence of the wings and three-segmented antennae the same color of the body.
