Eastern Cottontail (Note: This is a mammal, not a bug/insect)

Found in meadows, orchards, farmlands, and suburban area backyards with brushy cover.

Herbivore; consumes grasses, clover, sprouts, and bark during winter months.

Crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk); young are born in shallow nests in the ground and remain hidden until about 3 weeks old.

Benefits the ecosystem as a primary prey species for many predators. Risks involve potential garden damage or carrying ticks/fleas.
