Bug Identification
I assume the "buggers" are Assassin bugs. But are they in different stages, verities, and/or genders?

Uh oh -- sorry what you got there are leaf-foots. Bad stink bug-type pests. Their juvies do look similar to assasin bugs, but these are plant-juice suckers and have thinner proboscis, and the tell-tale broad flat segment on their hind legs.
I had one crawling on my windshield on the passenger side wiper this morning when I parked my car -- don't know if it came from my garden or I scooped it up on the windshield as I was driving. I got out of the car, walked directly over to the other side of the car, took off my shoe and smashed it.
