🦋 Butterfly and Insect Day

**#butterflyday and Insect Day
 Week ~ 46 hosted by @whatisnew** 

**Western Conifer Seed Bug 
(Pine seed bug.)** 
A few years back I didn't see these at all but now I do. 
This one was inside my cabin.
In the Fall they like to find their way into warm places to Winter over.

I did some research last night and came up with..
•They don't bite.
•They feed on the sap of developing conifer cones.
•They can potentially harm trees.
(the younger developing ones) 
I have many Pine and Hemlock trees on my land.

It looks quite large in the photos. This one is about an inch long.

They are not native to my region. I do have a strong concerns seeing them.

This is a pretty leaf-footed bug and I have them too.  I wouldn't worry about them unless you see an infestation.  Beautiful photos as always Anne!  : )

Howdy annephilbrick! Great shots of that thing, you have concerns because of the damage they can do to trees?

@annephilbrick · Feb 17 '20

🤗 Hello..!!
@janton 
Thank You...!!
I do have some concerns. 
There are other insects in my region that are for more worrisome at this time that have done damage to the trees. They are not native.
