Winter bug - Leptoglossus occidentalis
Willow Grove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
January 2, 2006
Size: 20 mm
Cllinging to a wall in the porch. With temperatures ranging between the upper twenties and lower forties, I was surprised that it was alive although barely moving the tip of one foot. When brought indoors it began to perk up and groom, removing remnants of cobweb, perhaps in preparation for the photo session.
