Walking dancing blueberries? Little tiny cheerleaders? Soot sprites? Rhythm Nation? Kudzu bugs? Stink bug nymphs? An undiscovered breed of beetle? UPDATE: An entomologist at Texas Invasives has confirmed the species to be Homaemus proteus (in the nymph stage), a particular kind of Scutelleridae bug, aka Jewel bug/Shield bug/Shiel-back bug.
