Please identify
Hello Bugman,
Here’s a better set of pictures of a bug I’d like to have identified, please. These guys are everywhere and on every plant in our back yard in the Houston area. Every year there seem to be more of them than the year before.Have a wonderful day!

Hi Beatrix,
Thanks for the clear image. This is a Bordered Plant Bug, Largus succinctus. They form aggregations like other Hemipterans, of which the Boxelder Bugs are the most notorious.
