Dorsal sides are red, with a thick black stripe down the middle. Shiny as well. This insect has at least 15 different color varieties, so this picture is only representative of one form.

Forest

Notes:

Definitely check out the link to BugGuide for more pictures of this species. Due to all its color forms, maybe it should be called the Multicolored Plant Bug, eh? Found at Barbara A. Beiser Field Station.
