These little guys are all over one of the vines I have growing in my backyard! We have assassin bugs, leaf footed bugs, aphids, etc., and I’m not sure what bugs these are. Research looks like baby stink bugs but then again not.

Is this a baby stink bug??
These are nymphs of a leaf-footed bug (family Coreidae). Specifically, they are giant sweet potato bugs (Spartocera batatas), an introduced species. For more details, see https://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/pestalert/2021/02/10/wait-whats-that-bug/
Flapdoodle, thank you!! I thought they may be Leaf Footed Bugs!
