New Bug Identified

Yesterday, many may remember that a new bug accidentally turned up in the blister beetle picture.  Then Ray volunteered to go back this morning to see if he could get a better picture of the new bug in habitat. Amazingly,  this mornng, that's just what happened.  In Ray's own words:  I set out whilst the stygian darkness still gripped this part of the tiny planet known as Earth.  The mist fell, but I was undeterred by the mist, as well as the stygian darkness.  The search was long and lonely.  It took me nearly twenty minutes to find the bug, and in all that long time my only companions were pets; a dog and cat, or cat and dog. 

This particular bug, as this picture actually shows, is a fairly interesting bug.  It is a truly bug-eyed bug, for one thing. And we are pretty sure it is Hesperolabops gelastops.  No kidding.  Sitting atop Ambrosia cumanensis parts.
