WTH are these bugs?

[mowin]

Couple yrs ago our area had a stink bug infestation.  3 days ago theses things started showing up.  There's hundreds of em just on my house. Annoying little things.

Stink bug

[mowin]

These are the ones we had a few yrs ago.  Squish on one of those, and you understand why they are called stink bugs. 

[mowin]

The ones we've got now don't stink know where's near as bad, and look total different.

I hope they're not crotch crickets or bag beetles......

[BowmanMike]

I think they are just a different variety of stink bug. We have been dealing with the longer ones that you have now. Not hundreds though,just one here or there.

Reduviidae. Not a stink bug.

[GreeneHunter]

Yup .... we have both of those .... all over the house and yard !

[BowmanMike]

I stand corrected.

I call em menthol bugs.  If you see a crap load of pine cones you know they're going to be around this year.

This one looks like the stink bugs I have always known, the one shown above this one looks more like a Box Elder flipped on it's back.

By the way I lived the first 21 years of my life in Niagara County and had never seen or heard of them until I moved into Yates County, they seem to be all over the finger lakes region.

WTF is a western conifer seed bug doing in NY?

The pic definitely wasn't a bug flipped on its back.  It was crawling just before I took the pic.

Guess the western conifer seed bug looks like the best fit so far. 

[mowin]

I'll take some close up pics tomorrow if I get a chance. 

[Lomax]

Yeah we get the stink bugs now in the Fingerlakes. We get the box elder too just not as many.  The bug @mowin is a western conifer seed bug. See the pic I found pretty sure it’s same bug.  We get those too now.  Stink bugs the most....though my daughter has a chameleon so I occasionally feed him the local native insect fare.

Had one two many adult cocktails. All's I know is they don't stink like the well known stink bugs.  But they absolutely love my house. I'm not happy that they do.  Lol.
