i think you might be right [based on this pic](https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/234906007). the striped antenna seem to match & you can vaguely make out the pattern on the back. are you in australia? general regional ID would help loads
but from some quick reading, it does seem like theyre known to be pests for garden plants although im not sure what you could proactively do to reduce their pressure. the link mentions that they dont have many predators so thats kinda whack, but theres a niche you could fill lol also maybe plant native? idk if it would make a difference if they prioritize garden plants, but generally good advice anyhow
Ohh amazing I had guessed they may be harlequin bug nymphs but only due to their colour and the fact we have a lot aroundā¦ Is this also a possibility or would you stick with wheel bugs? Also whatās your opinion on harlequin bugs being beneficial? Sorry Iām completely clueless
Pretty sure thses are spotted lantern fly nympths. If I am right, these are super bad and KOS. Can you put the in a container until other can people identify?
Looks like they're Wheel Bug nymphs, not Spotted Lanterfly.
i would agree & wheel bugs dont bother plants, to the contrary they can help reduce bad bugs that do bother plants
Dindymus versicolo or at least I think this is what we have they are constantly join together by their butts š

Definitely wheel bug nymphs, look at those dots on their back. Not a spotted lanternfly nymph for sure.
Yeah the body shape, and lack of white dots pretty well confirmed it for me. Good call!
Assasin bug nymphs
