Giant Mesquite Bug - Chinche Gigante del Mesquite

Coreidae, Coreinae, Thasus sp. and looks like being Thasus acutangulus. Definitely not Thasus neocalifornicus which look very similar. Unfortunatly there are many wrong IDs on the net. http://www.bio-nica.info/Ento/Heterop/coreidae/Thasus%20acutangulus.htm http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2007/09/01/giant-mesquite-bug-6/

I think you should "edit this spotting" and click and drag picture #4 to the #1 spot -- it's lovely.
