they are no that big, it it orange and i've never see it before. I be wondering if anyone knows what this might be because i really wanna climb up on the tree but im worried that it might bite me =/ HELP!!
The solitary "orange" bug I can think of is a Ladybug and they are beneficial to the garden because they munch through aphids and other tinier insects that do damage. They are completely non-hazardous to humans.


Is it an oleander caterpillar?

Answers:    Your right!... It is more than probable box elder bugs (Boisea trivittatus). I don't know what kind of tree you hold, but it is probably a "host" tree for the adult females to lay in attendance eggs on in the spring time. They may use conifer, maple, or some nut and fruit trees. You are seeing the Adults after they hold metomorphisized from the nymph stage. They will possibly migrate to the outside of your house soon, seeking shelter to overwinter. They don't bite and do minimal damage to your plants. They are more of a "nuisance" pest as they will want out a way to capture into your house through cracks, unscreened windows, below the eaves or into the attic to overwinter. Eventually they will begin to enter the living nouns and become unbearable. Their frass (poop) can stain curtains and carpeting. Once inside of the house, the single action is to vacuum them up. You will commonly see them sunbathing by the hundreds on the outside of the house on a SW or South facing wall in the fall over. Whenever the sun shines on the wall, they will be there crawling around. If you are concerned roughly this possible invasion, you can spray them with a "pyrethrin" base insecticide to kill them. If they are already on the structure, you call for to spray all the cracks and freshening openings underneath the eaves to keep them out of the house and attic. Hope this answers your query.
