Yo1 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I saw this for the first time this morning. I surmise it's a giant plant juice sucker or a leaf hopper. It's body was about 1" long. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hurray--I finally found it after looking at more than 800 photos: Giant Mesquite Bug (Thasus neocalifornicus). I found it at this website: https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Giant-Mesquite-Bug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
