Merinus laevis.
 
 
 
Size: approx. 20-25 mm. Photo: 03/20/20, 1 am.


After an evening of no new bugs at our porch light, I went to the bedroom and found this specimen of Merinus laevis crawling over the carpet. Although I was quite tired, I took a couple of pictures and released it to the outside. M. laevis is quite similar to Alobates (see above), but the dotted lines on the elytra are absent or less pronounced.
