 I just found my second one of these in my home. They appear to have come in on some cut roses (I found the first on me when I was arranging the roses after bringing them in yesterday; the second appeared this afternoon, within about 8 feet of the roses). At first I thought tick, but then noticed the antenna. It appears to be wingless, and has rather distinct markings on its back. Then my head went to bed bug (we've had them before and I'm still traumatized), but I think it's a bit large (it's about the size of a kudzu bug, but flatter), and, like I said, appears to have come in from outside--so... not a bed bug? Right?? [*fingers crossed*]  ibb.co/BtDvtQP |

[*fingers crossed*] ibb.co/BtDvtQPNot a tick, or a bed bug either - just a juvenile (nymph) of a bug of the family Pentatomidae - bugguide.net/node/view/182or possibly Acanthosomatidae - bugguide.net/node/view/14006 |
