Leaf-footed Bugs - Harmostes fraterculus
Greenville, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA
October 6, 2012
This bug was on the screen door, but on the wooden door itself, not the screen. However, the screen helped me see how small it was. The day was overcast, but no rain. I'm guessing its a species of Leaf-footed Bugs as it resembles overall other "True bugs" I've identified. It never moved and this is the best of about 5 photos I took of it. A couple of hours later it was still where I had come upon it. I looked in field guides and the guide here at BugGuide, but didn't see any others that have the specific markings this one does.

Thank you for the ID and feedback regarding size. I went in and edited out coreid as well as the size I originally entered. Yes, it was not that small. The larger original photo showed the screen and somehow I thought I had the proportions correct. But as I look at that original now, no way was it that small!

Many thanks for your guidance and help.
