Nice shot, Lisa! The adult looks so different from the baby bug. Posted 6 years ago

  Thanks! I took a mini-hike as we were leaving the land yesterday (along the meadowy roadsides). It started raining, and this guy was seeking shelter under the flowers! :) Quite a pretty adult bug in my opinion! Posted 6 years ago

Interesting how the back resembles that of the Western Conifer Seed Bug. Their legs a definitely different... not the same insect for sure.
