Granulose Stinkbug - Chlorochroa granulosa - Boulder County CO - September 2016

Photographed along Picture Rock Trail. ID to species a bit tentative. The clear membrane (pale bit at rear of bug) should help pin the ID down, as well as some structural characters.

 

There are only a few species of Chlorochroa stinkbugs with a clear hemelytral membrane (the shiny bit to the rear). Say's and Uhler's are two of those species, but one thing that I found distinctive in the images on BugGuide is that only C granulosa has pale proximal segments to the antennae.

 

BugGuide does not give much info on this species, but it ranges from UT and CO n. to AB in their records
