It was actually not really a correction, but a friendly clarification ;-)
Thanks for your support anyway, Thorsten! No problem, this happen to me all the time, when I open the spotting in the morning and ID it in the afternoon ;-)... And sometimes I do not even read the intro or other comments, just because I am lazy ;-)
Sorry bayucca - I didn't see your comment. I've been "too late" - therefore I've eliminated my suggestion and comment... You are absolutely right about L. gonagra.
Leptoglossus gonagra, Passionvine Bug. http://coreoidea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1187725 http://bugguide.net/node/view/56821/bgimage https://www.flickr.com/photos/acamaloz/5109748117/ But you are right... Australis is a synonym of Gonagra :-)! Personally I would go with Leptoglossus gonagra.
