Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Nymph

I think this is not Spined Soldier Bug nymph, Rieko.

Omigosh, Thank you LaurenZate! I kept thinking " those ...berries, was it?" I knew that was not right, though, so my brains been trying to figure out what it was they looked like. RiekoS, I also thought they looked like little tiny ladybugs and thought perhaps they hatch like this but, I wondered, why would they change to the elongated shape that larvae have, only to end this shape again? So I went searching for "tiny ladybugs" and all sorts of similar phrases. Oddly enough nothing came up in those searches (except carpet beetles which are not red or orange). Someone happened to ask me how the stinkbug problem was this year so I searched for that on impulse (mainly as a distraction, I think, while I tried to figure out what to type into google next). A few things I found when poking around to check this lovely red out lead me to guess these are probably 'Podisus maculiventris' but I'm not certain. For a scientific name may I suggest putting 'Pentatomide'? It is a little bit vague, I know, but when I was poking around a little bit I saw two types that looks similar to your little guys here. One is an insect eating Predatory stink bug (Spined Soldier Bug - Podisus maculiventris) and the other was an agricultural pest (the Rice Stink Bug - Oebalus pubnax). Eggs are very different for both. The few pics I saw of the Rice Stink bug have less black on the back so, personally, I'm rootin' for the good one (P. maculiventris).

They look just like a handful of those tropical red and black seeds! http://www.luckymojo.com/redbeans.html

quite a sight!

I think these are actually stink ug nymphs. The ones I found some days ago are much more orange than these brilliant red babies and 'mine' are clustered around their egg cases - otherwise they are quite similar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/27211089 The differences in sizes within your "herd" there are interesting. I poked around looking for ones that were as red as yours and found on picture that is in the "Unidentified" sub-category under Predatory Stink Bugs (the beneficial ones) http://bugguide.net/node/view/399584 Another picture in this category (out of NY) shows them with eggs: http://bugguide.net/node/view/412651
