They do look similar, but I think you are right in noticing th difference in color. I looked up box elder, and I am pretty sure these guys are something else.

Thanks though! :)

I got confused here. So what did you all decide the bug is, and what is it's common name, (not the latin name), and will it ruin the garden? So many questions, so little time. LOL.

it is a nymph not adult... box elder nymph

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!
