Thanks Ornithoptera. The same species showed up at that window twice before. the first time in June.
My original ID of this spotting was that these were mealy bugs. I now believe they are a species of ladybird beetle that was imported for biological control of mealy bugs.
I think I have a correct ID of this spotting now.
Turns out these aren't seedlings. I dug one up to transplant. It was growing out of a tuber.
Thanks Ornithoptra. I've been seeing these flying around the yard for awhile. They're always so active I don't get a chance to get a good look at them.
Thanks Ornithoptera
There was another on a nearby log. I should try eating one.
