Thanks,
Deb

Bumping this up because I' m seeing more of them now on my coleus and wondering if they are "bad" or "good". Shape resembles to me, an assassin bug nymph, but all those I've seen are orange. Anyone? Wild guesses and speculation gladly accepted. Here's another pic.

It could be a cricket nymph, they have 6 stages of development according to this site, there's a lot of pics so scroll to near the bottom.

Wallaby: I searched crickets on bugguide.net and found the Scudder's Katydid nymph. That's it!

THanks so much for your help.

Cute little things aren't they! I had a tiny hopper on my hand, which when enlarged in a pic looks similar but it was only the size of a large green aphid.
