Thanks , The many colors of the Stink Bug
Thanks Lynette , This family has such a hugh array of bugs it is daunting. I am finding so many interesting things when I go out and play in the garden.
I was happy to have noticed not one but 2 wheel bugs in my gardens .
They certainly have plenty to eat all pesticide free so I hope their children hang around come spring.

Bingo Teri Thats What It is !
Hey Teri , Thanks so much for finding the name. I did some detective work and it all came together . My garden hosts a delicacy of Perillus bioculatus being the stripped cucumber beetle! I spotted a good number through the season and alas nature sends out the calvary!! I found a website which the link to is here that has a great picture of the nymph stage of this fine insect and the match is unmistakable along with the validation of the garden having exactly what they love to eat!
I love it when it all comes together !
