The weather was warm and mostly cloudy as a team of fourteen completed this week's survey. Most true bugs possess a pair of scent glands from which they may squirt a malodorous liquid when threatened. The gland opening is visible as a pink mark on the thorax of the first coreid bug shown below. Select Photos and Complete List of Sightings: Phengodes sp.
