I’m located in North texas and found these on my maple tree. They look to be assasin bug nymphs, but I can’t be sure.

Dear K. Meredith,
These Wheel Bug hatchlings are indeed Assassin Bug nymphs.
Assassin? Eeeh, that’s a creepy name! But that’s a great photo of those hatchlings. I think once they’re grown they look stunning (but very intimidating also!)
They do look quite mean, I had one last year on my table, It looked so mean and nasty, I just left it alone.. good thing I did!
