I came across this bug last night and haven’t ever seen these around before and there were probably 20 or so scattered around. I tried searching a little and found nothing.

I don't see it mentioned there, but these are extremely sensative to environmental pollution. Finding them on your property is a great sign.

Why does your bag say "bombs"? The reason I ask is that my bag says "tiny ads" and it has stuff like this:
