Milkweed assassin bug

Your critter is the nymph or young stage of the Milkweed assassin bug.

These insects are found in southeastern US. It is found on many trees and shrubs from spring to fall.

The assassin bugs are predators, so they feed on other insects and worms. It is known to feed on armyworms, earthworms, rootworms, cucumber beetle adults and other soft bodied insects. This is called the milkweed assassin bug as it looks like milkweed bugs. They overwinter as adults.

Here are photos of adults and other stages of the nymphs - http://bugguide.net/node/view/4832/bgimage
