Insect identification

Insect identification

Just found this little insect beetle looking thing. I've never seen one like it. What is it?

Looks like a nymph form of a spined soldier bug.

Which is a type of stink bug, but seems to be beneficial by killing other insects.

Thank you Mark Mc ! The warmer seasons are a great opportunity to discover some new or not so new critters.

Hard to tell without a better closeup.. but ticks don't have antennae.

The one on the left, at least, looks somewhat like a cockroach nymph. Either German Cockroach or Brown Banded Cockroach. Maybe one of each...
