bug infestation

Question: i have two separate bugs that are coming into our house.  one is a group of tiny pinhead sized black/brown bugs that cluster together on the windowsill and in the bathroom.   When you wipe them off they smear orange/red color.

the other is larger ( approx 1/4 in) and is red/brown.  My granddaughter found them crawling in her bed and on her pillow.  Praying that it is not bed bugs!  

I have attached pictures and would be very grateful if you could identify these and maybe a trick to get rid of them.   Typically we get boxelder bugs, but I am not familiar with these.  Neither bug flies, but they move about a t a good speed.  Please help if you can!   Thank you

response: Hi Lynn, I'm afraid I don't have a clue what they are. I'm going to try and find out if any other MG's know what these critters are.  Sally Granath St. Louis  County MG

response: Lynn, A fellow MG thought the larger insect may be an emerging Marmorated- stink bug. https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/brown-marmorated-stink-bug I'm sorry but the photos are very out of focus and it's very hard to see any detail.

response: Thanks for your input. I sent the larger bug to a place that identifies bed bugs. We have more of these tiny black microscopic bugs coming in thru the windowsills . We have never seen before either. We live on a farm, crops to our south and beef cattle to our north and east. Maybe that will help us identify.  They don't stink when crushed.    Get Outlook for Android  From: ask=<personal data hidden> <ask=<personal data hidden>> on behalf of Ask Extension <<personal data hidden>> Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2024 4:44:43 PM To: Lynn T Nicolai <<personal data hidden>> Subject: Re: bug infestation (#0136436)

response: Hi Lynn, Look at this link , are the tiny ones mites ? https://minnesotaexteriors.com/blog/tiny-black-bugs-in-house-near-window/#IDENTIFY Another link to look at, Clover mites? https://extension.umn.edu/insect-relatives/clover-mites Sorry I can't be more helpful.....get the vacuum out. I don't think either is anything serious.
