Dear Sharon,
This is a Bordered Plant Bug in the genus Largus, most likely Largus californicus. According to BugGuide, they feed on: “Mostly plants (flowers, leaves, fruit) from a range of families, with a preference for Lupines. L. californicus is not considered a “pest species” of economic importance.” Your other insect looks like an Earwig.
