Just out of curiosity, Kendra, what state do you live in? Your general location would be of interest to those of us who don't really want to see this insect in our own backyards, lol.

Hey, I have already learned alot on this forum! I was doing my 'rose walk' the other day when I noticed something was eating my Honey Dijon leaves. I learned on this forum that the pattern did not indicate leafcutter bees, (do we even get those here?) but rather another nasty, probably rose slugs. I also learned to carefully turn over the worst leaf and check carefully for tiny green worm-ies. Found 'em! TWO! Very easy to squish! (Also learned here, thanks jeri!)

YES! I'm being overrun with this little buggers myself! They are almost diamond shaped and the adults FLY when bothered. They live in the mulch. I have thousands of them. I'm going to go look up Box Elder bugs and see if that's them. I have no idea if they are harming plants. I never seem to catch them on any plants, just in the mulch. I swear, it looks like the ground is moving there is so many of them! Sheryl

A species of Milkweed bug. Probably passing through looking for milkweed seeds to pierce and consume. Here is a link that might be useful: Milkweed Bug Information
