2107 Predatory Bug
Predatory Bug, probably Stenolemoides arizonensis according to Bug Guide. The only one like this attracted to the light.
A new experience for me: blacklighting for night insects. A blacklight is set up with a vertical white sheet behind it. My ring flash didn't work all that well (should change the batteries), so a good flashlight was needed to properly light the insects. I was astounded at the diversity and size of insects in a reasonably homogenous and very disturbed environment. Roping Arena,ajo. Arizona, USA. 21 March 2017
synonym: Luteva arizonensis Banks 1909. Another species with little information.
