Sounds like what we call the potatoe bug in the hills of Tennessee. Which doesn't mean a thing since I live on "The Big Mountain" past "Tip Top" up on "Manory Hill" on the "Coon Hunter's Road". All local names. They hang out in garden too, peppers as well as flowers. I get a rush of them every year about this time with some wintering over on the plants inside. My bug doesn't cause damage but then again I don't grow potaotes...zaze
