Wildlife Spotting

i couldn't really remember if they were on a plant. when i saw them they were on a small rock if i'm not mistaken.. one thing for sure though is that i found them on a rocky beach... i took this picture last year. i was never really interested before on the details of my subjects until i got into Noah..... thats why i don't have any other information about these bugs. : )

hi! karenL....to be honest, i'm not yet sure if these really are red cotton bugs (nymph). but as i was searching i found these sites with pictures almost similar to my spotting http://jumbledmumblings.blogspot.com/2009/02/shendurney-bird-census-february-2009.html http://addithebirde.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html.... i am also confused here. : ) thank you by the way for helping me figuring this one out...

thanks bong... these bugs are almost around the world. that is at least from what i have read on the link below... http://www.oisat.org/pests/pests__insect_mite/bugs/cotton_stainers/general_information.html

yes, they really look like milkweed bug nymphs. i found them overcrowding a small rock on the ground..
