Week ~ 46 hosted by 
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..
鈥hey don't bite.
鈥hey feed on the sap of developing conifer cones.
鈥hey 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.
