I see them here too.
I don't know the exact ID, but I'm pretty sure it's in the Assassin Bug family.

Agreed, it looks more like the nymph stage assassin in real life -- keep in mind that picture is the bug on a BRT leaflet.

Apparently the bite is quite painful. .. and some assassin bugs can transmit Chagas disease!
Seems like they might kill harmful insects though..
