Can’t find this bug’s info anywhere!
The attached photo shows the bug. He and his friends are located in a patch of flowers in our back yard. I believe they are eating the leaves. Let me know if you need more info on the location. Any help you can provide me in.

Hi there,
You have an immature Harlequin Bug, Murgantia histrionica. They have sucking mouthparts and are often pests on cultivated plants in the cabbage family as well as on Sweet Alyssum and wild mustard. They are colorful members of the stinkbug family Pentatomidae.
