The black and orange guy is some type of assassin bug, right? He sat on a plastic chair for over an hour sucking down the gray one. Tons of the gray one's around and they pop when you step on them but no clue what they are other than common.

Not sure about the victim, but the Assassin looks like one in the genus Rasahus:

Thanks Claypa. I had looked thru bugfiles and didn't see anything that really looked like him. I saw plenty with same color scheme but they don't have his ridge that he has behind his head. Rasahus looks the closest tho to me.

What about a Florida Predatory Stink Bug, Euthyrhynchus floridanus?

Well that certainly looks more like it. I didn't realize any stinkbugs ate other insects.
