What is this bug?
I have a bunch of these around my home and I don't know what they are or how to get rid of them. They do fly and like to get on our clothes.
Any help appreciated. Sorry for the blurry pic.

I think that's the bug that killed Curly from the Three Stooges.

Re: What is this bug?
Around here we call them pine beetles. We just step on them when necessary. They move into the garage when it gets cold, hide between boxes and boards but don't seem to eat anything

Re: What is this bug?
as an exterminator, not an entomologist, i think what you have is called a leaf footed bug. they come off plants or vegetation often as an instinct knowing winter is coming. also if you have crops in your area, harvesting often drives them from their natural habitat.

Re: What is this bug?
wayne, you can tell them youre an expert on bugs ! i think im right on the identifcation. there are so many bugs that feed on plants that are members of what they call "true bugs" the name doesnt make much difference, they all feed on plants. they are a cousin of the the more famous "boxelder bug"

Re: What is this bug?
Since we are sharing bugs. . . look at this huge spider on my porch 
Rick and Mark keep telling me stories like it can jump 15' and it has a nest under the house to give me nightmares and it's working  |
