Can you tell me what the name of this bug is? They were on my Mexican firebush. They almost look like a milkwed bug but have a different head.Thanx,

Hi Scott,
You are correct that the Milkweed Assassin Bug in your photo resembles the Milkweed Bug, but while the Milkweed Bug is a vegetarian, the Milkweed Assassin Bug is a carnivore.

I have recently found these bugs living on my shrubs in the front of our house. I first noticed them because my plants looked to have a black substance growing on them. A closer inspection showed them feeding and laying eggs. I was wondering if this is harmful in any way.
