I found about a dozen of these bugs (beetles?) crawling around a few leaves
of my nasturtiums. And on one leaf there was a egg case. They are about
1/4" long. I'm in Brooklyn, NY.

I washed them off with a hose. In hindsight maybe I should have killed
them. What are they?


Not getting a response here I posted this on BugGuide. They are nymphs of
the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
