American Grass Stinkbug - Aelia americana- Weld County, CO - June 2015
Photographed along road to Murphy's Pasture on 29 June. This stinkbug, with an anteater's nose, belongs to a small tribe of stinkbugs Aeliini that contains but two genera. They are fond of grasses, hence my "common name" of American Grass Stinkbug. Its range is from BC-AZ east to MB-MI-AR-AL (per BugGuide) and has a fondness for barley and rye, so maybe throw in a few hops.... There are but a few records in BugGuide and none from CO, though it is thought (known, probably) to occur here
