Hello,

Here is 2 pictures of an hemiptera (probably Coreidae family) photographied last February on the Margarita Island, Venezuela...

Is it possible to identify it???

Thank you very much for your help!

Lygaeus sp.

I'm not sure which species, but some of these are called, "milkweed bug".

Hello Lizardman,

Thank you very much for your help on this insect!

I'm still searching for the species...

You were right for the genum and the plant where I found it was from the "milkweed" family...

I'll let you know if I find more info about it...

Bye,

Michel
