    The bug in your photo doesn't appear to have the white band across the wings that is characteristic of Leptoglossus zonatus. I suspect that it might be Acanthocephala terminalis instead.

        Okay. I'll do some more searching to see if there are any similar species, but the ID seems good. Posted one year ago
