Leaffooted bug nymph, Dallacoris spp.
by: Moni

Eric
Any bug in the nymphal stage is hard to Id, however my best guess is these little bugs are the young stage or nymphs of the leaffooted bug called Dallacoris pictus. They are known to feed on plants in the Nightshade (pepper, tomato, potato, eggplant) family. They are found on these plants across the southern states.
The orange pattern can be highly variable on this insect.

Hi,
I have those same insects as well. Mine are on the milkweed plants. They are some kind of plant sucking bug . . . no threat to humans that I am aware of.
