A picture would be helpful, if possible.

Without a photo it is just guess work as there are many possibilities. Throw in the various stages of them as nymphs and the possibilities quadruple.

One guess that comes to mind is Assassin Bugs nymphs. Good guys. See pic in center of the third row down linked below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Assassin Bug nymphs

Thanks digdirt! I believe you nailed it.

Also look at Leaffooted bug nymphs.

LOL... I was going to say the same thing Rhizo1 after you identified mine earlier this year.

Does the general rule apply for nymphs as it does adults...

Predators tend to go their own way while others tend to congregate??

In THIS case, assassin bugs would be ruled OUT, no?

Kevin

Nymphs, in their various instar forms, tend to congregate for a time. As they mature into final forms they disperse. Probably because the gang has cleaned out the readily available food source. :-)

Kind of like predator cubs in the wild. Security in the group until Mom quits bringing home the bacon and hunger becomes the ruling instinct.

Dave

Thanks Dave. I love analogies.

Or they can start doing like lacewing larvae do huh? Eat their siblings!
