I found these on one of my crossandra leaves. Have never seen babies before. Are they assassin bugs that like to eat bad critters?
Good little assassin bugs????
barbur - I would say that yes, these are assassin bug nymphs. The short stubby "beak" on the nymph peaking out from unnder the leaf in that last shot looks like a predator beak to me. The bumps on their body also resemble assassin bug markings. Keep an eye on them though just in case. Predator bugs of this type will have short, stubby beaks even when they get larger.
