What is the bug? #840883

Asked July 16, 2023, 8:33 AM EDT

I keep finding this bug on my patio, all around my pool. The presence of them has slowed down, but still seeing them.

Hello Kim,

That looks like a plant bug or a seed bug. These are plant feeders so they are most likely coming a nearby tree or shrub.

Best regards,

Howard
