INVASION!
Hey Bugman!
So, we recently discovered these bugs invading a prickly pear cactus near our front door. They sort of resemble an assassin bug, or agave bug. Could they be nymphs? Thanks for the help!

Hi Paul,
These are immature Cactus Coreid Bugs, Chelinidea vittiger. BugGuide has information and images of the adults.
