This beautiful brightly colored bug is called the harlequin bug. Naomi found him on the kale in the garden this morning. He is about the size of a lady bug. He is in his 2nd nymph stage. He is not a friendly bug to the garden since he likes to drink the sap from a plant, causing the plant to wither away.
