These are blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in the genus Epicauta, likely the margined blister beetle, Epicauta pestifera - see http://tinyurl.com/nrgqn2 for an image. They can be quite damaging when they occur in large numbers.
O wow thank you so much, do you know what I can use to get rid of these?
Any 'garden variety' insecticide registered for use by homeowners (such as Sevin) should work. These beetles actually are beneficial as larvae, as they feed on the egg masses of grasshoppers.
Hope you don't mind but found this bug as well good grief is that all my plants have is these ugly bugs lol
and
This is a stink bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), but the images are not clear enough for a more specific identification, This family includes both beneficial predators as well as plant pests; if your looks like either of the following (http://tinyurl.com/ldffgr or http://tinyurl.com/m73f8k), it may be a beneficial species.
