    Bug ID please

    I'm kind of happy with this image... for me it's an accomplishment. Does anyone know what these insects are called?

    yeah hemiptera are identifited by their beak comming out of the upper head part, and the longer segments of the antenni (sp?). also the x the wings make across the back help. oh and i was getting paid to sort bugs like this so don't feel bad.
