Cute Hatchlings - Wordless Wednesday

I have been watching these insect eggs for about 4 or 5 days, and today, they hatched!!!  Yeah, I know, I get excited over the weirdest things.  LOL  The eggs started out pure white, then a couple days ago, they got a black speck on them.  Then the next day, they had a brownish cast to them.  And when I went out to check on them today, they were hatching!  They kind of look like lady bugs right now, but they could be some other sort of orangish beetle.  I hope they stick around long enough for me to find out!

    Those are interesting looking critters--great shots! I'm fascinated by bugs and their life stages. I'm not an entomologist but they don't look like lady beetle nymphs to me. I think they may be BMSB nymphs (Brown Marmorated Stink Bug--not really a good thing in the garden). There is a good article and photo of the BMSB nymphs/eggs (scroll down to the end of the article) here: https://uconnladybug.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/stink-bugs/
    I like to use Bugguide.net to help me ID bugs. (I posted a photo of a bug I couldn't ID there and had an entomologist answer within a minute as to what it was.) There is a photo of BMSB nymphs here:

    Your local extension service would be able to tell you for sure.
    Happy bug hunting, and Happy Wordless Wednesday!

    Thank you for such a lovely comment! Your macros are incredible. I wonder what they are. I actually drew a ladybug several days ago. They are so cute. And yeah, bees rock! :)
