Dark brown/black immature hemipteran (true bug) with white markings on legs and antennae. Native to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It was accidentally introduced into the United States in 1998. It is considered to be an agricultural pest in the U.S., especially in fruit orchards.
Found in our community garden.

... and in my house. ;-P It's definitely one of those. They're cute as nymphs, but annoying as adults!
Thanks Keith! I think we got the ID on this one at about the same time. Nice to have ID confirmation. :)
