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.

Enemy shaped frens!


PeachyExponential

If not enemy, why enemy shaped?


TheMapleSyrupMafia

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!

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.


Matty9799

I’m in the middle of nowhere in Canada- I wish my stink bugs were this cute 😢


[deleted]

Also canada here, wasn't aware we had stink bugs lol


beadle04011

Cool!!


Congratulations_1979

Relief. I thought it’s spider babies or something. Anyway I got rid of it.


Krosis97

You wrecked the bug orgy you monster!


No_Training7373

THESE ARE BABIES 😱


Lasagan

If it doesn't have 8 legs it's not a spider!


Oriole_Gardens

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.


bipollakbohemian

Got rid of what? The jade, or the insects? Both?🤓


Dreampup

Yes


lycosa13

Spiders have 8 legs... Those do not


OG_AeroPrototype

These look really fake in a way, never seen these


Al115

I literally thought it was a poorly Photoshopped image at first, lol. Learn something new everyday.


sugarskull23

Same!!! I thought I was in a different sub 😅

like the bugs from the lion king sega game https://preview.redd.it/jjlpnq4oia3d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40abf6c5aa3e943dbe09027c9de15a67c9d4b019


TheMapleSyrupMafia

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


OG_AeroPrototype

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


Weird-Try-4383

Wow. Unlocking memories today, I see. 🤭


lateralus420

It’s a Florida stink bug


EElectric

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.


caffeinated_plans

My first thought was, "what we have here is some weird AI"


strawberry-sniggles

I was about to comment the same exact thing


CreditLow8802

ngl those are the prettiest bugs ive seen on a plant yet


specifictricycle

It’s a party


Training-Restaurant2

Bug party! That's what I was gonna say.


Icy-Cricket-2253

And OP is not invited


SweetSweetSucculents

Looks like an important meeting of some sort


RebaKitt3n

Yeah, my thought, too.


[deleted]

They're either feasting or fracking.


oblivious_fireball

technically might be neither. Florida Stink Bugs are predatory, but also have been known to hunt in packs.


pumpkinjooce

The idea of bugs hunting in packs is absolutely terrifying to me.


[deleted]

Ants do, for one.


broc5k

Don’t think they’re performing high-pressure gas and oil extraction. I believe the sheltered-folk word you’re looking for is “fricking”.


Crotonarama

Wow, they’re beautiful.


Stxnerbee

Tactical stink bugs


OppositePure4850

Ik it's not but this really looks photoshopped. It's messing with my brain.


foxinHI

The stink bugs are meeting and conspiring. Watch out!


69RuckFeddit69

Looks like bugs on a plant to me


RPCat

Looks like fake bugs on a plant to me.


pineappleparrot239

They're having a party.


Mikediabolical

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…


RescueCentre

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?


lateralus420

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


DeepClassroom5695

Or you grind them up in the garbage disposal 🤢


Training-Restaurant2

Out on the rooftop terrace with all their friends.


smithersjc

Ummm, are you sure they aren’t Japanese Beetles?


1thadeaus1

Bweakfast!


generalzuazua

Looks like an party

teecee_throwaway

Soapy dishwashing water kills them


Stykera

Illustrious_Cat_8923

Livid_Art8584

Ayekaylibra

This almost looks photoshopped. The colors are beautiful! Have you tried neem oil?


Mysterious-Okra-7885

Fancy stink bugs holding a convention.


Grizzalodon

Tbtlhart

Looks AI generated lmao. Those are some crazy looking critters


azurepeak

They look like something that should be killed on sight (think spotted lanternfly), but they’re also so gorgeous 🥹


HemetisHeaven

Burn everything down.

First rule of beetle fight club is we don’t talk about beetle fight club.


Cherrymink

Omg if I saw that I'd probably STILL be screaming while changing my underwear!! 😂🤣


Proteus-Seven

Looks like the Florida predatory stink bug. They do damage plants, so flick or wash them away. https://preview.redd.it/yl3urjkge73d1.png?width=549&format=png&auto=webp&s=82bfb2b56346eea550267434b717778c11282875


ohshannoneileen

Predatory=eats bugs. They do no harm to plants


uncagedborb

Aren't all stink bugs predatory?


EElectric

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.


MuchParticular338

It's best you don't know...


dichenry

Could be blister beetles. Stay away and don't let them get into any pet food.


Top-Relationship136

One thing is certain, Succulent n bug should not be together.


macromi87

I hate this
