Thanks for dropping into the Patch. They do look like assassin bugs, but these do not appear to have the "beaks" generally associated with assassins and leaf footers? I have posted a few recent articles on assassins / wheel bugs recently, hope you can check them out, amazing creatures! Thanks for the links. ESP Hi Sean.

I believe those are actually assassin bugs, and I'm pretty sure you want those critters sticking around. I had one on my plumeria last year and also tried to scare it away. Then I found a link on dave's web that helped identify it, and I learned that it actually eats the bugs that eat your plants. I spent the rest of the summer making sure it was comfortable, and I actually missed it when it was gone. ;) Here's the link to the image: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/4515/ And here's the link for more info on the bug: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/561/ Good luck, Sean Hi,
