Index of Subjects Hi Peter Leptoglossus - probably occidentalis. A relatively new arrival from the west - one of the Conifer seed bugs. We have seen them from Queens, Kings and Halifax Counties.. suspect it may have come in with Christmas trees Andrew >>> Peter Payzant <pce@accesswave.ca> 3/11/2008 4:10 pm >>> Hi, all- We had an mystery insect in the house for the last couple of days. It probably came in on firewood. We released it outdoors today and it flew off with great enthusiasm (but it's probably doomed to quick freezing.) I have a feeling that it is one of the true bugs, perhaps an Assassin Bug. The body length was about 1.2cm. It had a sort of thoracic shield, a very small head, and I was able to convince myself that I saw a beak stowed away underneath. Anybody care to comment? There are photos here: http://www.pbase.com/ppayzant/insect Regards Peter Payzant
