Field Notes

Description:

Small black bug, about an inch long with a white stripe near the rear of it's body. It had a brownish color on the underside of body.

Habitat:

Found a window, trying to get to the sun, but it was a window of a old workshop filled with old tools that are dusty and filled with spiderwebs. A frog was also found in the shop, but I could not get a photo.

Notes:

I let it go after I took pictures, as always.

I think your right, and sorry for the late reply. :p

Little bit tricky to ID this one. I think it is Phyllopus due to the straight white stripe. Others have some kind of zig zag lines or an interrupted stripe. What do you think about it?
