A perfect fella. 10/10. It is a western conifer seed bug, which is a type of leaf-footed bug :)

A leaf-footed bug found on a guava! Much probably a Leptoglossus zonatus. It seems like it's missing a leg. Poor bug!

Leptoglossus occidentalis
Western conifer seed bug
Chinche americana del pino
23 of November 2022 — Maryland, USA
The western conifer seed bug uses its proboscis to stab the cones of conifer trees and feed on their sap, which affects the development of the seeds (hence its name). It’s native to North America, but after an accidental introduction to Europe through timber importations in the last twenty years, it has become invasive there.
This species has a beautiful black and yellow abdomen, I just couldn’t get a picture of it because that would involve lifting its wings and I didn’t want to bother it, as that might make it release a smelly defense.

Leptoglossus Zonatus, also known as "Chinche Patona", is a species of leaf-footed bug. They are part of the true bug family. They are considered minor pests bc they can spread some plant diseases, particularly for physic nut trees and satsuma oranges. However, they do not bite or sting, even if they smell pretty terrible. They breed in pomegranate trees, which is where I found this lovely little guy!
You can tell his species by the two yellow spots on his shoulders and the white stripe on his back!

It's starting to warm up again after a brief chilly spell, which means I can see a few more critters before the snow falls! I found a giant wheel bug at a gas station (which my mom affectionately calls wheelie bugs) and a seed bug on our garage!

@emo-mothman submitted: No id needed, but I thought you'd appreciate this lovely western conifer seed bug found on my recycling bin. They know the blue brings out their colors.
I do appreciate them! Brown bugs are often super pretty up close :)

Don't know if this was asked before, but do you have any general tips on finding insects?
step 1: find a plant. I’ll use this tree trunk
step 2: look everywhere on the plant. there will be a bug.
baby Leptoglossus, a eupelmid wasp, a leafhopper, and that clump of debris is a lacewing larva (it was slowly scooting around)
fences and railings are often a good spot to find bugs, as well as glass windows where bugs got attached to lights the previous night.
don’t disregard tiny bugs or things you might find boring. look at every fly, every ant. some flies are beautiful. some ants aren’t ants. even common insects do interesting things if you observe them long enough.

Hey here are some bugs .I'm pretty sure the first one is a shield bug or stink bug of some kind but I don't know what the second one is. Both of these were found in Southern ontario.
Leptoglossus occidentalis, western conifer seed bug, and Hypercompe scribiona, which will become the lovely giant leopard moth
