Assassin nymph or just another freeloader?

Sorry phone only post. I’m thinking it’s maybe a leaf footed nymph but I’m hoping I’m wrong. Earlier they looked like they were hunting now it looks like they are feeding on the blossoms

The red ones, I believe are leaf footed bugs. They're the enemy, and can damage both vegetables and the plants they grow on, and so is that young grey squash bug in the bottom left corner on the squash stalk in the picture.

I don’t care much about the squash bugs. The leaf footed are awful, and will attack persimmon and Che. Squash bugs are basically a one trick pony.

Application denied.
