Reduviid eggs and nymphs
Mableton, Cobb County, Georgia, USA
July 23, 2019
I brought these eggs into a butterfly habitat to see if I could see them hatch. I have aphids and Pyrausta inornatalis caterpillars in various stages included as the eggs were lain among them, is there anything else I need to do to try to raise at least one to find out what it is? Or does anyone know what they are? I'm assuming they might eat each other?

Hope you're successful in rearing one of them. I do suspect that they'll eat one another if other food sources are not readily available.

Do you think they'll eat aphids? I put in plenty and as many southern pink caterpillars as I could find.

Quite possibly.
Fingers crossed. :)
