Sorry, I know thats a little nasty but....
We live in the North East, and I have never seen this bug before (maybe I just didnt notice) However, was out in the garden planting and I saw, what appeared to be a little dab of birdie poop on a leaf, all of a sudden it sprung wings and flew away!!
You can emagin my amazment over the sight of flying poo...
Anyways, has anyone ever seen a bug like that? and what the heck is it? Is it a good bug or a bad bug?

I also found where the caterpillar of swallowtail butterflies look like bird poo, but that won't work because it flew!

Candy! oh my gosh THAT IT!!!!!!! your a great bug detective. Its an uggly little critter isnt it? And I found it on one of my morning glories, and that is one of the plants listed that this little poop likes to eat. Now, how do I get it to take a hike?
Hmmmm.... maybe this calls for the old hot pepper and casteal soap mixture,,,,,,
