Don't have anything new to add. Just here to gush , lol. I've always loved these guys! They're everywhere right now. Was in the library today and saw one fly from where I was to across the room. I think he was hitching a ride on my shoulder . It's awesome seeing them fly because the orange underneath their wings is such a pretty shade.View attachment 289255 It's been getting warmer around here and I found this newcomer at my windowsill.
I'm wondering what kind of insect it is and the lifespan. Thank you.
Literally just posted a thread)Had a little visitor) regarding 1 of these but I'm in the UK.View attachment 289255 It's been getting warmer around here and I found this newcomer at my windowsill.

Thanks!That’s a western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis. Lifespan I’m not terribly sure of but it’s likely no more than one warm season.
