Are these squash bugs? - Anasa tristis
Pennypack farm, Horsham, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 8, 2009
There were many of these, most of them on leaves. These ones were on one of the small squashes. There were also clusters of eggs everywhere.
What puzzles me is the little green ones with stubby wing cases, they look so different that they seem a different species, and yet they are sometimes part of these groups.
