Bug Nymph for ID
Portsmouth, Virginia, USA

Size: 2mm
Found these in the last of my fennel. The Black Swallowtails have decimated it and the pot can't support any more. But this little mob emerged Saturday. Any species ID this early?

Thanks

Assassin bug nymphs
Predators of other insects - although, at this size, not yet of full-grown caterpillars. I don't know if they can be ID'd any further than that.
