Hello all....happy spring! :)

So, I'm getting my beds ready for planting and while tilling the soil a ton of these bugs surfaced! Anyone know why they are? Please?!

Thank you happy gardening!
Lisa

This looks like Raglius alboacuminatus, a dirt-colored seed bug (family Rhyparochromidae); they basically are nuisance pests that will not harm plants in your garden - see http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/edComm/pdf/CIS/CIS1147.pdf
