Dirt-colored Seed Bug

Found in leaf litter, under stones, bark, garden beds, and frequently indoors seeking overwintering shelter.

Herbivorous/granivorous, feeding primarily on fallen seeds using piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Diurnal ground-dwellers that move rapidly. They enter buildings during autumn to hibernate in warm crevices.

Harmless to humans, pets, and household structures; they do not bite or sting, though they can be minor indoor nuisance pests during cool months.
