Never seen these before, they have beautiful colour, great work.
I can imagine the difficulties with the lighting, they look pretty reflective, again, stunning!

Nice. With other bugs, you only have to worry about the eyes...not the whole body.

Nice shots! They are very orange.

BTW: They are plant bug nymphs, not assassin bugs. It's easy to tell by their "proboscis". Assassin bugs have a beak and don't eat plants (1st photo is feeding). ;)
