What is this Bug?

Friday, April 25th 2008, 6:33pm by june

The other day I was snapping shots when I noticed these really interesting bugs on my strawberry plants:

Does anyone know what these are? At a glance my plants look fine. They just seem to be hanging out. The creepy part about them is that they were stuck on there kind of leech like. The front part of them is suctioned to the leaf and the rest of their bodies seemed to over the leaf. I've never even seen this kind of bug before.

As I moved around the yard I also discovered that they are on my Yarrow too!

One day I'm going to get a super duper camera and lense like bob and lance. :) So I can share better pictures. In the mean time I might just get a bug identification book.

Thanks! I may hit up my step dad first. I think he has a few bug books.

How interesting June! I was thinking ladybugs. I remember vaguely reading about ladybug pupas.Maybe I'm just remember things I've never heard of.
