Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

A Bug Just Chilling

Finally (mid-December) we are beginning to get cooler temperatures in Central Texas, but on one unusually warm and sunny afternoon I spotted this bug resting on a rock in the pond. It wasn’t doing anything, just sitting.

I couldn’t get close enough for a proper identification, but the shape of the back legs put it in the genus of Leptoglossus, I believe. This genus is in the family of leaf-footed bugs, and several of those are regularly seen nearby, according to iNaturalist.

About Me

Nature Lover.
Inquisitive Observer.
Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
