I saw this bug today on my patio shelf. I have seen them infrequently in the past. Not sure what he's after or whether he'd be good in my worm bin.

thanks.

This is a leaf-footed bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Coreidae) in the genus Acanthocephala - see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/86628156/original for an example. These are plant/fruit feeders, so they should do no harm in the worm bin.
