It's a nymph of a leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. Its mamma obviously was confused about where to lay her eggs!

They were laid on my working pants. Believe happened during hanging drying. Is this insect dangerous to human?

These are harmless to humans. Most are vegetarian, a few are predators on other insects.

That is just the nymph stage. Adults look different, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coreidae
