Red juvies and black adults!

[Malhavoc's]

I have a suspected three adults and about ten young of the same species [assuming]
Adults look very simmiliarto black assassin bugs with dark brown wings that posses a white stripe on them. they do not however have long front legs to snatch prey. their hidn legs are very long and jsut before the feet it widens out to look like a piece of dead leaf. [this also has a white spot on it but nearly noticable] their thorax has two spikes and looks like a plate. the young on the other hand.. dont have the leaf structures on the back legs, do not have wings and are red and very spikey! they look like aphids on steriods.. I found them on some kind of fruit plant.. hopefully can post pix soon..

From the description, family Coreidae, the leaf-footed bugs. They're plant feeders. Not sure about the others, may be immatures, may be something else entirely.

Well I now have them in a small enclosure with a diced piece of foot I found them on 'btw if it counts their mouths are very long tubes lol] and soem very thick sugar water. I added some subs to see what they mature into

Including hind legs about an inch [again I will ship some to you if you want] I have no clue on what they are though as I haven't had tiem to research them.. jsut simply put the fruit I found em in with em and have left em till I have tiem to observe and such. and yes the red ones are the young one just molted into a bulack sub adult..Also I think they're toxic to eat as my jumping spiders jsut look at them and leave em be. not even a lunge to taste em lol.
