My friend in Port Charlotte (Florida) says his son was bitten by this critter, last evening. It looks like a stick insect nymph to me---but he says these are very aggro, and there are lots more of them! Any guesses, bug dorks?

This guy has been positively identified as a Milkweed Assassin bug nymph. Thanks for the help!
