If you know what the bug in the above photo is, please tell me. I’ve been looking it up everywhere I can think of, and I think it might be an assassin bug (which is good!) but I’m not positive.
I found it before the holidays living indoors on my rosemary, and since it wasn’t doing any damage, I left it there. Over the ensuing weeks, I found it in other houseplants, just hanging out.
A couple of weeks ago, my husband found it in the bathroom. What it was doing in there, I have no idea. He wanted to kill it, but I saved it and brought it into the bedroom where I thought it would be ok.
Imagine my surprise when I found it again just a couple of days later, in the living room right back on its old favorite rosemary! This bug really gets around.
Nothing like a (very) little drama to spice up a dreary winter….
I’m pretty sure it’s a leaf-footed bug. I think they’re harmless, though armed with some stinkiness. Here’s a link: http://www.ladybug.uconn.edu/hotissues/leaffootedbug.htm
