Taking photos of these bugs is so easy because they are quiet, but they are also tiny enough to challenge the focusing. I like do do researches after taking photos of some insects what I exactly captured. This “Western conifer seed bug” is native to the warm western USA but recently it expanded also in some parts of Europe. In the winter time the bugs try to survive inside the houses so they are not really very welcomed though they don’t do any damages, except their aroma when are disturbed. It is worst for the plants outside, because they feed on the sap of developing conifer cones throughout its life, , and its sap-sucking causes the developing seeds to wither and misdevelop (source: Wikipedia).
