What are these bugs?

I am relatively new to gardening and have been lucky with not having many bugs so far this year. However, just yesterday I discovered an infestation of a new bug in my garden and I think it might be striped cucumber beetles. Also this morning I found another new bug, this one huge looking like it is covered with armor. Could it be an assassin bug? I'm not sure what to do about the striped bugs as they are all over my pumpkins, spaghetti squash, and (to a lesser degree) cucumbers and melons. Is the second bug a good bug that might eat the bad ones? I've posted pictures in a post on my blog (link below).

Thanks for any help you can give!
