These seem to be everywhere lately.

The office has received several calls and seen posts about this bug in gardens and yards (pictured). So we talked to our IPM Specialist, John Thobe.
He shared that this is Mozena Obtusa (common name leaf-footed bug). They are being seen all over right now, and were in 2022. He shared this article with some great information.

Some Things to Know:
*They are annoying but not harmful to humans, pets, or most homeowner plants.
*They typically phase out pretty quickly and aren't an all-summer pest.

If you have other questions or need more information, feel free to contact your local county extension office.
