Jadera haematoloma
The Red-shouldered bugs resemble the Boxelder bug, having red eyes and red shoulders, and red on the border area of the abdomen. Adults are flat, about 1/2-inch long and 1/3-inch wide. Nymphs are predominantly bright red with the thorax, antennae, beak, and legs being black to brown. As they mature, they develop black markings and wing pads. There may be two or more generations per year.
