Assassin nymph bugs
 
Are assassin nymph bugs bad or good. I think that is what I have. They are in clusters and tiny, orange with black legs.

I think you got aphids...

I know what aphids look like but these don't even resemble the aphids I have had before. When you spray them they run in all directions.

Sounds like a stink bug baby-is that mammorated or leaf footed, I don't know but if it is either one you don't want them in your garden.

Assassin bugs wheel bugs are good. I try not to kill bugs if I am not sure what they are because of A bugs. I know they are red when little. They stab stinkbugs and will get you too, but they are so slow moving it is easy to avoid them. I actually get them on weeds on my driveway and move them to my garden - I am very careful.

Thanks Rockporter, It looks just like the Leaf footed bug which I assume is the baby of the stink. Have already seen stink bugs. Since we had aa cool spring and so much rain thought I wouldn't be such a bother this year but I have them every year but never this early. Its usually hen the tomatoes start to ripen.
