Yes, there are quite a number of true bugs that resemble, at least to the 
casual observer, the bug in question. Here in Spokane there are bugs with 
mostly brown tones and others mostly shades of gray that could lead people to 
overlook the Marmorated. Unless it becomes the monster people envision, in 
which case I, too, will get to know it.
