Dear Ecolog-L list members:
This past fall and early winter in Rhode Island, colleagues and I noticed more than usual numbers of assassin bugs (Reduviidae) coming inside. This reminded me of the annual behavior exhibited by ladybird beetles. Is anyone able to comment on this observation? Are there introduced Reduviidae taxa in the Northeast? I apologize for the lack of species details. Thank you, Scott --- Scott Ruhren, Ph.D. Senior Director of Conservation Audubon Society of Rhode Island 12 Sanderson Road Smithfield, RI 02917-2600 401-949-5454
