Was it an Oak woodland are? If so, possibly Aradus robustus but it's just a guess since it seems to be the most common one collected http://bugguide.net/node/view/251678
Thanks! :-) It is, Cindy, but family level is as far as I have gotten with the identification so far.
Nice one! Looks like a Flat Bug. Using mobile so can't confirm.
