Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis)

Barry photographed this large (approx. 20 mm) bug at the garden. These insects belong to the Coreidae, Leaf-footed bugs. Fall is the time of year to find these distinctive looking bugs and they can be quite abundant as the colder weather draws close, because they will seek shelter in warm nooks and crannies, sometimes in large aggregations.
