What insect is this?
They are called an "Assassin Bug"
I always thought they were a type of stink bug, since when you step on
them, they do smell. But our pest control fellow said they are a
species of Assassin bug. They can give a very painful bite. They do
fly, albeit clumsily, but are very slow moving.

Dear Experts,
Lately, I've been noticing some insects in my home.
On the second floor for the most part.
Here are some pictures of them:

They move slow around the room. Sometimes they fly.
But for the most part, they just walk around.
Rather slowly. Not like a swift housefly. I
can snag them with a tissue pretty easily.
What kind of insects are these?
How do I get rid of them?
Thanks a lot!
