unknown...what? beetle? stink bug family? - Corythucha arcuata

Wrong date?

There shouldn't be green oak leaves outdoors in Kenora in January.
Did you mean July 8?

Good info, but a little more could aid in ID

Host plant, in this case oak, can be very important.

You saw several. Did they all appear to be adults, like this one? (Juveniles are smaller and less, uh, lacy.)

Do you have a photo from the side, showing the hood?

We have a very good expert on lace bugs, and you might get an ID to species, if not now, later.

Moved for expert attention

Moved from ID Request.

Corythucha, perhaps, but I doubt it's C. morrilli. It doesn't look quite right to me--and none of the representatives in the guide have come from your neck of the woods (see map).

Corythucha arcuata

This is C. arcuata. It feeds on oak trees. Thanks for that information. The apical band of the wing most of the time is not very defined, sometimes is only a trace. Hood not too high. It occurs in Canada. C. morrilli has several crossed bands on the wings, hood is elevated, and like you said it does not occur in Canada.

I agree, Ken...I had difficul

I agree, Ken...I had difficulty fitting a lot of the information into what I wanted it to say. There were a lot of Florida reports. I'm not sophisticated enough in my own bug world to care much about differentiating the details, just get the family and be comfortable that it's not a threat to any of my favourite butterflies and moths.
