Hoping someone can ID this critter
« on: September 01, 2010, 02:48:22 PM »
These critters have arrived recently and are dining on my clematis seedheads.
I have never seen them before and hoping someone can ID them for me, maybe even have some advice on dealing with them.
At first I thought they were some sort of juvenile stinkbug but they don't stink when you squish them.

Looks like a related species? Certainly a sap sucking hemipteran.
