Field Notes

Description:

spotted these weirdos holding some sort of ritual on a honeysuckle leaf

Notes:

Are these aphids? Are they red because of carotenoid synthesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphid#Carotenoid_synthesis)?

Species ID Suggestions

Most probably Coreidae nymphs, Leaf-footed Bug nymphs. Do you have a closer picture or can you make a crop to get a little bit more details. Usually the nymphs are a nightmare to ID and yours are too young to get closer. http://bugguide.net/node/view/17488/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/700584/bgimage
