This is the best photo I could manage before they scattered. Does anyone have an idea of what they might be? Good or bad bugs? They certainly are quite unusual, have not seen these before. Photo is here:

Need a good, cheap, knowledge expanding present for yourself or a friend?
I am ashamed that I did not realize that they were beneficial.
Am I the only one who's having trouble with the link to the bug photos?
