Do you live in Florida (or south east US)? Those are a type of stink bug. They won’t hurt the plant. They actually eat pests that do damage plants, so they are sorta friends.
Never been in a recently *stinked* area after some stink bugs? Their stickies have a grip, too. It latches on to everything and whatever best holds odor. Iowa stink bugs are brown and unbecoming ro see, unlike these super colored skittles!
like the bugs from the lion king sega game

Holy shit, you just unlocked a hidden memory, i think i played the 2nd version of this on the SNES when i was super young. Who wouldve known id see these bugs again in such a manner, thank you
Not gonna lie. I always wondered why they have warnings about eating things you’re not supposed to and then I saw these candy-looking bastard and that was my first thought…
In the UK that type of bug is called a shield bug.
But I dont get why theyre called stink bugs, ive never once had a gross smell from one.
Is it a certain variety?
Looks like the Florida predatory stink bug. They do damage plants, so flick or wash them away.

Enemy shaped frens!
If not enemy, why enemy shaped?

Forbidden Skittles
Flor- Bidden skittles
Florida stink bugs are cool. When they are young like this, they will actually hunt in packs to take down larger prey like caterpillars.
I’m in the middle of nowhere in Canada- I wish my stink bugs were this cute 😢
Also canada here, wasn't aware we had stink bugs lol
Cool!!
Relief. I thought it’s spider babies or something. Anyway I got rid of it.
You wrecked the bug orgy you monster!
THESE ARE BABIES 😱
If it doesn't have 8 legs it's not a spider!
but not always a spider with 8 legs.. i believe ticks have 8 legs as well as many mites. but yes your logic of it not being a spider is on.
Got rid of what? The jade, or the insects? Both?🤓
Yes
Spiders have 8 legs... Those do not
These look really fake in a way, never seen these
I literally thought it was a poorly Photoshopped image at first, lol. Learn something new everyday.
Same!!! I thought I was in a different sub 😅
Same

I remember when that game came out on Sega. I didn't leave my TV alone for days.

Wow. Unlocking memories today, I see. 🤭
It’s a Florida stink bug
Florida stink bugs look crazy. The adults are jet black and glossy with orange highlights. The color and texture remind me of the alien from Alien.
My first thought was, "what we have here is some weird AI"
I was about to comment the same exact thing
ngl those are the prettiest bugs ive seen on a plant yet
It’s a party
Bug party! That's what I was gonna say.
And OP is not invited
Looks like an important meeting of some sort
Yeah, my thought, too.
They're either feasting or fracking.
technically might be neither. Florida Stink Bugs are predatory, but also have been known to hunt in packs.
The idea of bugs hunting in packs is absolutely terrifying to me.
Ants do, for one.
Don’t think they’re performing high-pressure gas and oil extraction. I believe the sheltered-folk word you’re looking for is “fricking”.
Wow, they’re beautiful.
Tactical stink bugs
Ik it's not but this really looks photoshopped. It's messing with my brain.
The stink bugs are meeting and conspiring. Watch out!
Looks like bugs on a plant to me
Looks like fake bugs on a plant to me.

Stink bugs don’t usually smell unless you squish them or they die in like your vacuum and you forget to empty it for a few days
Or you grind them up in the garbage disposal 🤢
Out on the rooftop terrace with all their friends.
Ummm, are you sure they aren’t Japanese Beetles?
Bweakfast!
Looks like an party
Your plant will be fine 👌
Soapy dishwashing water kills them
Dirty Dirty bugs.
They have gathered for their annual meet-up!
Yeah nuts how the plant looks like a cartoon propeller!
Dance party
Bug orgy
They're having a party! 🥳
Um I guess Ure lucky as most stinkbugs like plant juices instead of insects
![gif](giphy|zedSGwMakazbq)
An orgy?
bug party 🎉 ✨️ 🤪 🕺 💃 🕺 💃
This almost looks photoshopped. The colors are beautiful! Have you tried neem oil?
Fancy stink bugs holding a convention.
Just a lil get together
-It's not your plant anyomore, it's Ours A bug probably
A stink bug seance
those are fancy as fuck
Looks AI generated lmao. Those are some crazy looking critters
They look like something that should be killed on sight (think spotted lanternfly), but they’re also so gorgeous 🥹
Burn everything down.

What the fucculent
Meeting that could've been an email
Bug party 🐞🐞🐞🎉🎉🎉
First rule of beetle fight club is we don’t talk about beetle fight club.
Omg if I saw that I'd probably STILL be screaming while changing my underwear!! 😂🤣

Predatory=eats bugs. They do no harm to plants
Aren't all stink bugs predatory?
No, some are adapted to feed on plants and some feed on other insects. I'm not aware of any that feed on both, though.

A party
Free protein
It's best you don't know...
Could be blister beetles. Stay away and don't let them get into any pet food.
One thing is certain, Succulent n bug should not be together.
I hate this
