One area of my garden has these bugs all over my plants. No idea what they are, if they are damaging the plants and if they do, how to get rid of them.
Please help me id them and may get rid of them too.

Thanks

Rodica

The large one looks like the Milkweed bug, the small ones could be young ones, but not sure

If you don't get a definative answer here Rodicap, then you may want to try the web site what'sthatbug.com.

Or post in the Bug ID forum here, people typically get very quick answers there.

It looks like a really fancy Japanese beetle and seems to be just as voracious. I must admit, the colors are really neat and rather pretty. It is a shame that so many of the pretty bugs are so damaging.

Thanks everybody for trying to help.
It looks like it is Largus Succintus or bordered plant bug. I have lots of them but I do not see any damage to my plants.
Any idea if I should try to eliminate them ot just let them be ?
