Hemiptera... true bugs... triangular thorax, sucking mouth parts. Squash bugs, assassin bugs, leaf hoppers, aphids, and cicadas are all members of the same order. The smaller one is an immature one, the other an adult.This heat may or may not be related. But they are everywhere. It's like a plague.
All over the house. Throughout the yard. Etc.. neighbors place is covered in em too.
Anyone know what the heck they are!?!

Still Hemiptera. Just not sure of the specific species.These things are small. Like gnats. Maybe slightly bigger. But not much.
That one pic is zoomed way in
The one on the left is a baby... looks like an aphid as an infant. The one on the right is hard to see well enough but I think it's an adult. Just smaller than the usual squash bug.Well. South across the road was some junky junky canola. They cut it several weeks ago
Don't look anything like the squash bugs I've seen
Yep. Stink bugs are bigger black bugs. Nasty lil things. Definitely not those.The one on the left is a baby... looks like an aphid as an infant. The one on the right is hard to see well enough but I think it's an adult. Just smaller than the usual squash bug.
Of course we may be speaking two different languages. Around here a stink bug is a black beetle that walks around with its butt in the air and smells bad if you touch it. What you call a squash bug might be different from what I call them. Regional differences in what we call stuff.
They are still Hemiptera. That's an "order" of insects, a scientific designation.
I looked a little further and got this from google: Lygus Hahn insects infest canola. Adults are 6 to 7 mm (1/4 inch) long; immatures (nymphs) are 1 to 6 mm long
The bugs might be getting hungry now that their food was cut.
That's not what I call a stink bug. LolStink bug

yeah, we call the largish black beetle a stink bug too. but I see why the green bug is called the same - they stink too!The one on the left is a baby... looks like an aphid as an infant. The one on the right is hard to see well enough but I think it's an adult. Just smaller than the usual squash bug.

I never said they were squash bugs.Yep. Stink bugs are bigger black bugs. Nasty lil things. Definitely not those.
Squash bugs are usually gray and shaped like a triangle...
About the size of a child's fingernail
