Hi all, I'm in North Florida...vegtable garden and I have seen many small 3/16" -
1/4" Orange colored bugs with 6 black legs. They look *very* much like a big ant...you know with the big tail end (butt?) but it's not a ant (or I dont think it is) I found a bunch on my squash plant blooms before they opened, I'm seeing them on small watermelon plants as well. They could have a tiny black dot on the top of there "Butts" but it's hard to tell with out a good glass. They are quite colorful. Brilliant orange with black legs. They dont move very fast and so far I have seen no appaerant damage...so far.Any ideas what they are? Are they good...or bad? I tried to I.D. them with resources on the internet but couldnt find anything that I could truely say.."Thats it" !
