Answer 3

They're box elder bugs =].

Boxelder bugs are primarily a nuisance because they enter homes and other buildings, often in large numbers. Fortunately, they do not bite people and are essentially harmless to property. When abundant, they can stain walls, curtains, and other surfaces with their excrement. Occasionally some may seek moisture and may be found around houseplants, although they rarely attack them. In the few cases when they do feed, boxelder bugs are very unlikely to injure indoor plants.

Once boxelder bugs have become established in the home, there aren't a lot of treatment options.

There are not a lot of recommended chemical measures at this point.

The easiest way to remove boxelder bugs, once they are indoors, is with a vacuum cleaner.

However this site is really helpfull if you're trying to get rid of them =].
