Golly, when you get into the south, then you have to consider things like "cotton stainers," too! These are definitely a plant-feeding critter, not assassins (using 'Gestalt' method again, sorry), and I would venture they are coreids or pyrochorids.

Lynette - thanks for your response. I have zoomed in on my various shots of these bugs and I don't see any evidence of leaf-footed"ness"! Do you know why some are very small, some have a shorter,fatter tail and some have much longer bodies? Are these males and females? Is this a hatching or some kind of a swarm? It's just curious that they seem to be in different stages of maturity or at least different sizes but still all together in the same place. I still haven't found another picture that looks exactly like these but I'll keep looking. Thanks again!

Take more shots as they mature and we'll be able to get a better ID for you. The differences in size are just different stages of the nymph. I believe most true bugs go through 5 stages until maturity. They hatch relatively at the same time, I'd guess within the same day and that with the difference in how much each eats can determine differences in size. I would guess that you have both male and female in the shots, but there is no way for me to tell for certain.

Deborah, Thanks for getting an awesome picture of these little guys! I have been looking every where for a picture of them hopeing someone else had seen them also. I found some that had 'hatched' on the brick of my house. It looked liked what they hatched out of was a segmented tube. Almost like something I've seen on the back of leaves. They are very different. If anyone knows what they are please share. Thanks again!

was probably a row of eggs laid end to end, which we sometimes see in Coreid spp. Compare below:

Absolutely incredible photography! Thanks!
