I probably should have tried to place them close to the light again after they worked so hard to get there before I rudely interrupted them...
Either way it looks like they were using the light as a hunting ground.

His name is Toe Knee, pronounced *To*ny.
Well, his full name is Toe-and-Knee, but he goes by "And-Toe-Knee". He says it has a nice sound to it; I think he's insane.
The final photos are of the fang marks on the mealworm leaking goop.

This Goose was shielding 10 Goslings from the rain under it’s outstretched wing. They were on the bike path. They moved on and we counted them all. Surprised to see that so many were under there!

On Elaeagnus umbellata (205603717).
iNat is pretty sure Hypselistes. Idk; the abdomen markings are distinctive and different.
My 1st impression was a beetle, and I wonder whether that is deliberate. "Here's a yummy beetle, come and get - you!" (Although with the red coloring, it may be more like "I'm an icky beetle, don't bother me and I won't bother you ha ha ha.") There is a hesitation in the markings at the tip of the abdomen, as if to suggest elytra. I wondered whether that was just a trick of the light, but it's consistent in all the photos I got of that end.
Tiny thing, anyway.
