Thank you bayucca and yes vft2000 the Wetlands are alive with all kinds of wild plants including the thistles

I think yours is Leptoglossus phyllopus. Leptoglossus oppositus has no stripe at the back. http://bugguide.net/node/view/866203/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/826834/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/701616/bgimage
