Forcep Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Those are true bugs, of the family Thyreocoridae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanchantress Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Forcep, thank you!!! I just looked them up on Google and it looks like the common name might be Ebony Bug. Attached is a picture I found on a site that called them a type of Guyana True Bug. I wonder what they are good for? Maybe the little blue tailed lizards around here eat them... Thank you so much for identifying them for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Search Cydnoides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanchantress Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 You are both right! Family: Thyreocoridae Species: Cydnoides renormatus. This forum is so awesome. Thank you! So I think it isn't the Ebony Bug then because it looks exactly like the picture of Cydnoides renormatus that I found on the web. Amazing what you can find in the backyard when you stop to look Doesn't seem to be much info on the web about them - at least info that non-entomologist-type-people like me can understand.
