Mating Leaf-footed bugs on a Thistle
Pictures shot roadside in Dolen, Texas, April 2005. This year (as of 4/05) has not been that good for wildflowers near The Woodlands. I saw these thistles growing along the road as traveled to the North Houston Astronomy Club's dark sky site for some astronomy photography.

I thought these were stinkbugs, but Gil Clarifies: the "stinkbugs" on the thistle are Leptoglossus phyllopus, a species of Leaf-footed bug, family Coreidae.
