16 years ago

Have any of encounter this. I went out to my hummingbird feeder there were alot of bugs crawling around. They were small,had tiny legs and remind you of a beatle. My hubby didn't know what they were. They were there with the wasp trying to get the liquid. Any ideas what these are.

I have ocassionally seen lightning bugs on the hummer feeders. Wasps and bees check them out, but don't get anything. I think the lightning bugs are just resting there.

Can you post or reference a picture of the bugs?
