I think those are the bugs that may carry Chagas disease. Not sure, though.
ETA: Do they look like these? https://kissingbug.tamu.edu/ There is also a stink bug that looks similar, but has a fatter, less elongated body. |

Eat them. They'd probably taste better than any actual food that's made in Ohio.

I'm pretty sure these are boxer eld bugs. Look at their face up close and see if it looks like this.

Stink bugs.
Their “bite” which is actually not a bite, will literally burn the shit out of your skin. Not fun!! |
