I've seen half a dozen of these bugs in my apartment of late. What are they and should I be worried?
Looks like a stink bug. We used to have these all the time around the house. They are harmless, but annoying.

Best answer: Western Conifer Seed Bug - part of the Coreidae family!

Best answer: pont has it: aka Western conifer seed bug (wikipedia). They're narrower than stink bugs, which are more shield-shaped.

You're seing them because it's spring... like ladybugs, they like to come inside to hibernate. They're headed back outside.
