I discovered some insects like the one shown in the picture on my brown turkey fig tree. I am not sure what it's doing there? Should I leave it alone or send it on its way? Thanks for any help. Attached Images IMG_4429.JPG (411.14 KB, 22 views)

Could be Lygaeus kalmii (small milkweed bug). __________________ Wish list: Dalmatie, LSU Gold, Ponte Tresa, 豐產黃 (Bountiful Harvest) Zone 7b

I have lots around here and I think its the Box Elder bug. I don't believe they do any damage. They say they like to over winter inside homes and thats whats makes them a pain.
