reddish bug

reddish bug
brookhaven, lincoln County, Mississippi, USA
August 15, 2007
Size: .25"
This bug was part of a small army covering a group of wild flowers and weeds at the edge of my fathers garden. They were very small, about 1/4 of an inch, bright reddish orange with black legs, antennea and little spikes on the back. This shot is best pic I could manage since they also never, ever stopped moving. Hope it's enough!

You should try going to the same spot in a few days to see if you can find the adults - they usually do not stray far. Then maybe we can identify the species.
You can move these images to the Leptoglossus section of the guide by clicking the "tag all" link - when they show up on the upper left, surf to Leptoglossus in the guide, go to the Images tab, and click "move tagged images". It's helpful to move your own images after they have been ID'd to make less work for the bugguide personnel. Thanks for contributing your images to the guide!

Nymph
Looks like an assassin bug nymph but wait for an expert.
