I have seen this spider on my roses for the past few days. I'm not sure what kind it is and if it's a good guy or a bad guy.

| No spider is a bad guy. Nonetheless, I see six legs and antennae, but can't ID attm. Dan |

| Maybe something like this, Dan? (nymph of one of the leaf-footed bugs) This one is Acanthocephala terminalis, and like all true bugs, they undergo changes in appearance as they molt several times before adulthood. |

| THat looks exactly like it. So it's not a spider after all. It's a member of the squash bug family, right? So these are BAD. I can pick him off but is there a way to control them if I find more? |

| Not a problem for your rose. |
