Quality Control

The blueberries are covered with these bugs. I have no idea what kind they are but they move out of the way when I start picking so we get along great.
Such an amazing looking creature

@peterdegraaff Thanks, Peter. They have a very weird flat shape from the top. Maybe I should have shot that angle instead of this one.

@darylo Thanks, Daryl. I may get a top shot today to see if you still think so. Mine looks a little less like a stick than these images show.

@darylo I think it is a Leaf Footed bug, or type of Assassin bug...but not totally sure. See how wide his back legs are? Very flat. I think that makes him a Leaf footed. and Katy..btw, GOOD SHOT! I am wearing off on you with the bug macro stuff. Hee hee

@darylo @grammyn Hey guys...here is one site I found...If you click on each photo, it shows larger....They look pretty similar. It gets confusing. @robv was the one who identified (and still does) alot of my bug pics. He once identified one that was sort of like this, but a bit rounder in the abdomen..it was a "Western Pine Cone beetle" or something like that. It might be one of those...but mine was actually on a Pine tree. This is on a blueberry! haha He is so little! I just realized that...look at that "huge" blueberry!

@espyetta Uh.......where is the link?
July 5th, 2013  
@grammyn Where my head has gone, apparently. Hee hee..hang on
July 5th, 2013  
There she is!
July 5th, 2013  
@espyetta Thanks! Yup that is the one!

And they don't hurt the berries?

@eudora I don't think so. I haven't quite figured out what they get out of it unless it is to eat the spoiled ones!
July 6th, 2013  
Hopefully you can get them before they do

Assassin Bug to me. Predates on other bugs. Good friend in the garden.
