Assassin Bugs

assassin bug or stink bug?
I recently went to a class on ecological pest management and they said that it is hard to tell the difference between an assassin bug and a leaf footed stink bug. One is good & one is bad. Now, I’m freaked out because I don’t know if I have the good ones or the bad ones. I have about 10 of these guys on a rose bush and I found another one on a crepe myrtle on the other side of my house. Hope you can tell me if I should kill them or leave them alone.
