I believe they are assassin bug nymphs. (I could be wrong...) But overall, about the cutest little things I have seen in a long time. I am in love! #insects #bugs #gardening #hiking #nature #macrophoto #naturephoto #photography #nymphs #assassinbugs #pets #InsectThursday

Mombo Assassin Bugs just hanging out, looking for something to devour violently.
Or more likely looking to see if one of their tank mates got prey they can steal.
