They're very similar to Stink Bugs and they might even stink themselves but there are some unique differences between Leaf-footed bugs and Stink bugs.Mad Mac wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 12:31 pmYes.

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
You are probably correct, definitely not aStink Bug . It is longer and thinner in body. Antennas have Orange tips . It was on a Lilac leaf .Mushroom wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 1:16 pmThey're very similar to Stink Bugs and they might even stink themselves but there are some unique differences between Leaf-footed bugs and Stink bugs.Mad Mac wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 12:31 pmYes.

Awesome find! His head is flattened down a bit, so it looks like you caught some cool shots in one of its defense postures too.awa54 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 10:41 pmA tiny hognose snake on Cape Cod:
They’re getting more rare to see these days. Were you by chance exploring the Cape Cod National Seashore?
