Description


I think this is a Milkweed Bug Nymph that just recently molted.
It was on the bottom of a leaf, but it just didn't look right upside down.

Old Tavern Park
Lisle - Illinois - USA

Awesome, Mike. Is that the skin he's just shed? So I guess the feet are sticky? #1397084

Michelle - Thanks! I did not see it shed but I think that is what happened. I guess they do that several times before reaching adulthood. I'm not sure about the feet, I assumed they had little "hooks" to grab the surface much like velcro. But I know what normally happens when I assume something. :-) #9572158
