Saw a group of these bugs on my basil plants this morning. There are also a few on the mint. They don't look like mites or aphids and they don't appear to be eating it, but I am curious if any one knows what they are and if I should start trying to get rid of them. Thank you!

@Peter4075 I'm pretty sure they have been drilled at night by a Gumby Cat (if you know, you know. You know?) – Ecnerwal Jun 01 '23 at 18:48

These are young harlequin bugs, or very similar. Bad for plants… – Polypipe Wrangler Jun 03 '23 at 10:14
