Hi! I found this bug in my livingroom recently and I can’t find out what it is on google. I recently purchased a lilly, I’m not sure if it maybe came with it.
What do you think?

Dear Lee,
This is one of the Big Legged Plant Bugs in the genus
Acanthocephala.  Sadly, your species, Acanthocephala declivis, which we identified on BugGuide, does not have a common name.  Other members of the family Coreidae are known as Leaf Footed Bugs and Flag Footed Bugs, and one species in the family, the Western Conifer Seed Bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, has been expanding its range across the Palaearctic  and Nearctic ecozones of the world.
