Thanks to both of you for the
Thanks to both of you for the ID. Comparing the above photo with this , do you think that these newly hatched nymphs in the photos submitted last year might also be twice-stabbed stink bugs? I have photos of a group of similar nymphs in the garden this year which I didn't post since they were the same kind as last year's group. The group I found this year were located only about 10 feet from where I found this current nymph. The nymphs stayed together in one group for several days moving from one leaf to another. If you think it would be helpful, I can post the photos from this year, too.

When you see antennae composed of only a few long segments like these, begin to think BUG. Most immature beetles, including those of ladybeetl*es, are larvae that look nothing like the adult.
