Moved

 
red bug
yes I did not intend to have it in "zonatus" What is it?

 
My guess
is a Leptoglossus nymph--species undetermined. That's why I moved it to the genus level.

 
Posted Photos
As a newby I am not sure what to do on the site. Once my bugs have been Identified, should I move the photos to the Frass? Or if I just leave them there will the automatically be moved after a period of time. I appreciate the time you guys give to the site and want to minimize any work you have to do.

 
Different folks do things different ways :)
Some contributors just leave the images where they are. Eventually an editor may come along and either Frass them or move them deeper into the Guide.

Others are more active. If they feel that their photos aren't particularly useful to the Guide (i.e., they show common species, or aren't particularly clear, or are unlikely to be identified further) they'll move them to Frass themselves. Even then, an editor may decide that a shot is worth keeping, and move it back into the Guide.

In the case of these three photos, I would advise frassing. I doubt they'll be identified further, and we have a good number of nymphal Leptoglossus images.

Feel free to keep asking questions. Also, read through the help section and the forums. You'll soon get a handle on how things work around here. :)
