# 2 ~ Life on a Sumac

I think it's a wingless weevil of the Anthribidae family...unless someone knows better...

I'll take your word on the type of bug but you've captured this beautifully with the details of the sumac!

Excellent work, and beautiful colors. V

Neat closeup, the bug is rather decorative and the pretty sumac is new to me.

WOW! Wonderful photo of a bug. I agree with Stephanie though that it looks like the stink bugs that we have here.
Lori Rolfe03-Oct-2010 13:34

I think it is a stinkbug....they're everywhere around here. Cool find and shot! They are very unique!

So well captured Christine!

A lovely photo, I think. It looks like a Pentatomid nymph, a stinkbug in other words, but I'm not familiar with insects out your way. However, our stinkbug nymphs (of all the different species) look like this. Anyway, it is a very neat shot.

The True Bugs are an interesting insect!

Everything is interesting in this image!
Never saw such a bug and love those tiny pompoms!

I beleive you! I beleive you! I don't really know creatures, unless it's bigger than me! :) Superb details.

It's not the prettiest that nature provided, but the sumac makes up for it.

Looks like he is well armored for life on a sumac!
