My date for lunch
This little guy was waiting for me on my car window today.
A clear sign that spring is here. Does anyone know what type of bug this is?
Hello
Am I not beautiful?
Stop looking
Thanks for visiting!
(Very dirty windows and camera lens)

Reflections for my Soul 
It looks like a cross between a leaf footed bug and a stinkbug (although stinkbugs here are brown and not red).

I was thinking it was a stink bug to but thought the body shape was a little off.
I never heard of a “Leaf Footed” bug before. Gonna have to look that one up.

Also try a western conifer bug. It looks close to this and the leaf footed bug, but not exactly. Of course, that doesn’t take regional variations into account. It’s likely one of the Arizona Universities has an on-line bug identification.

Actually, I googled on looks like a red stink bug. I learned how to do that when I was identifying this wheel bug, which I’d never ever seen before.

That wheel bug looks neat. With its boney looking head/body.

It was really incredible. I’d never seen anything like it before either and it was just walking around the deck. I’m sure we’ve had them the whole time we lived here, but I’d not seen it.

There’s no such thing as a “yuck”. These are beautiful creatures, worthy of companionship.
