They are all over my garden. I also have eggs on my tomato & squash plants that I'll post separately just in case they don't have anything to do with these guys. Are these bad guys or good guys?
Thanks,
dd

These definitely are ‘bad guys’; they are squash bugs (Anasa tristis; Hemiptera/Heteroptera:Coreidae). See http://tinyurl.com/j2llv for a fact sheet with images and control recommendations.

thanks Suunto. I figured they were pretty common, but this is the first year I've seen them.
