# I watered my pothos this morning and all looked normal. Walked back…

_Posted by Ben Willy on 2026-08-13_

I watered my pothos this morning and all looked normal. Walked back by about half an hour later to about 40 of these guys on one leaf. It startled me! And I startled them because most of them ran to the backside of the leaf before I could get the picture.

Pretty positive they are just stink bug nymphs that hatched moments earlier. Pretty cool.

Do you know what kind of eggs they are? I've seen those too. Thanks
