The first one is an assassin bug (family Reduviidae); it appears to be a Zelus sp. – see https://www.opsu.edu/Academics/SciMathNurs/NaturalScience/PlantsInsectsOfGoodwell/heteroptera/reduviidae/zeluslurid.html for examples.

The second one is a pale bordered field cockroach, Pseudomops septentrionalis – see https://www.abbottnaturephotography.com/image/I0000uH99B_wzDfM for an image.
This is not a pest species, see http://extension.msstate.edu/newsletters/bug%E2%80%99s-eye-view/2016/pale-bordered-field-roach-vol-2-no-17 for details.

Thank you so much. Your suggestions for both bugs are correct. I’ve already added pics to insect files.
