Field Notes

Description:

Here we go again. This bug's overall shape looks like another one I spotted before ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16082557 ), but it has a very rough surface - unlike the first one, which had a smooth surface. I think this is a flat bug (Family Aradidae), but I can't find any info on the internet. As a challenge, try to find the bug in the third photo!
