Nymph - Harmostes
Wheaton at Herrick Lake, Dupage County, Illinois, USA
September 25, 2020
Size: 7mm or so
Found at dusk on Goldenrod growing in one of the parking areas. After exploring bug guide photos of stink bug and leaf-footed bug nymphs, I'm stumped. Here's hoping someone recognizes this cool looking specimen from one photo. The low light prevented me from getting any more good images.

Ken, you're a bug genius! Thanks!!
There seem to be relatively fewer examples of this genus, let alone species-level examples of nymphs. Yet it seems you've nailed it. Here's a twin to mine under H reflexulus:

H. reflexulus is certainly a possibility....
...but I won't attempt a species ID from a nymph. I'll leave that to bolder individuals. :)

I hear you...
...especially since the person who found and posted this (matching) nymph found two different species in their yard!
