This insect stings my newly growing squash plants. The younger ones are green (start growing wings) and as they get older they turn brown. They're only about 1-1.5 cm. As you can see their body is long and skinny with very long skinny legs. I think they actually shed their outer shell when they're growing and they lay round eggs in clusters on the leaves. I've never been stung by it, but a friend has while out in the garden.
