thanks for the quick reply. this bug was very small, with no antennas, so i dont know if it could have been a squash bug.
i have already moved him to a new location, far away from my plants, but i just hope it didnt lay eggs or anything. this hasnt been the first i have seen, the other was a little bit bigger and was green. i'll keep an eye out for more, and make sure my plants make it through to the end of october. thanks again for the help, and if you come across anything like this, let me know
