a tiny and colorful little friend! found in the summer, in new mexico :) he has a proboscis and an abdomen that curls inward like a shrimp

would love an ID if possible!

It's a mirid plant bug, and probably one in the genus Pseudoloxops. They're not common in the US and are usually found in Europe and Asia but they are plant feeders so it's not surprising they occasionally make their way to the US via plants.

Taylorilygus apicalis is an unassuming little mirid also commonly known as a broken-backed bug. this name comes from its weirdly bent wings, which you can kinda see in this pic if you know what you're looking for, but given the angle i took it from it could also refer to that gamer stance. this thing is lucky it physically can't live to 30
