    Legs and antennae are similar to Assassin bugs, however I have not found any insects that have this same black marking when searching Assassin bugs, beetles or stink bugs. Maybe someone will recognize it. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

      Not really an expert myself, but my guess is that this is a nymph of a stink bug, unsure which species. Posted 5 years ago

        Actually, I think it is a plant bug. Compare to Largus maculatus (nymph).

          Hi Christine, this makes sense because I have a few Largus maculatus in my yard. Posted 5 years ago

            Sounds like a match, then. I hope they don't do too much damage to your plants! Posted 5 years ago
