While inspecting some plants today, I noticed a slender dark/black bug with an orange colored head. There were 2 of them. One was about 1/2" long, the other a little smaller. I went inside to grab my camera, and when I went outside, the bugs were gone.
I just want to know what they are and whether they are good guys or bad guys. I looked for them on the internet and couldn't find them anywhere.
Thanks Starla, I am pretty sure they are not fireflies. Unfortunately, they don't seem to like our deserts down here. I remember them well when I lived in Michigan and Tennessee, though.
I want to add that they do fly, in a similar manner to lacewigs. Could it be a baby lacewig?
