Not the "wheel bug" variety but they do dine the same way. Guess I should have checked my Id first. Cousins of a sort at least.

Lovely! They are stink bug nymphs. Some are plant suckers, but other species are surprisingly voracious predators.

Thank you. I saw them in my "Florida's Fabulous Insects" book but since taking Ambien I can't find my book. LOL. No more Ambien for me!
