But the Western conifer seed bugs seem to like it…

(The sap that's been dripping on my car, that is!)
I've seen a lot of these “true bugs” this year. I've also had the [unscientific] sense that the white pines in our neighborhood have been particularly prolific with their reproductive features this year. Maybe there's a connection between that and the number of these “Leptoglossus occidentalis” I have seen this year…

Well captured Thom. I like the pattern on his back.
