Here are two pics of what were 2 mating bugs. They aren't now! Name and problem with them, if any. Thanks.

Oops. Do they have sharp pointed "shoulders"? If so, they are spined soldier bugs, and they are good guys. The suck the juice from other insects. If the shoulders are rounded they are stink bugs - plant suckers.

Looks like sharp shoulders to me. Agree?

I think sharp shoulders in the photo above. Here's a link to good photos of various sharp-shouldered bugs. Maybe you can find one close to yours and find out more about potential danger then.
