Thank you Phil S for your interest in this spotting
Thank you bayucca for the ID and the link
He, he... which was the second one??
You hit it right on, baucca. That is two ID's you beat me to today lol.
Picture is not as sharp as to see all markings clearly. Has to be verified. Mexican reports are from Chariesterus balli: http://bugguide.net/node/view/251105
You are correct, aserigo. It is in the Coreidae family.
