Western Conifer Seed Bug?
Hi! I love your site! I’ve used it to identify at least 2 crawlys in the house already. I found this guy today on a houseplant…I’ve seen them before, and until looking them up on your site I’ve been calling them the King Box Elder Bugs, although I doubt they’re related. Is this a Western Conifer Seed Bug? I’m in Salt Lake City, UT. Thanks!
Pax

Hi Pax,
The Western Conifer Seed Bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, is native to the Pacific Northwest, but has migrated east. BugGuide shows a map that indicates sightings in Utah.
