Leaf footed nymphs - (some examples below, there is a lot)
Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas)
Leptoglossus clypealis
Leptoglossus phyllopus (Linnaeus)
(depending on where they were phtotgraphed)

Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family and the tribe Anisoscelini.
Species are distributed throughout the Americas, with some records in eastern & southern Asia and Europe.
Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops.
Seeds especially are their favorite food. (Think expensive taste, almonds, pistachios, etc.)


Eggs and babies:

They are commonly confused for a cooler bug, the Assassin bug from the family Reduviidae.
Which is actually a GOOD bug and helps out gardeners and farmers.
Plus how could you not be cool with that name. Lol.

But your little guys are pretty pest'y.
Happy to help, great pic to go off, nice and clear was an easy ID, so thanks for a good pic!

They are cool looking and wondered if they might have been young assassin bugs but good to know they are pests.I used my phone camera so was pretty happy that the pictures were as clear as they were,lol.
