Feeding.
Yes, they were feeding. Mating pairs are united "tail-to-tail" going in opposite directions. They might do some mild cosmetic damage to the fruit as a result of their feeding, but otherwise are fairly innocuous. Genus is Leptoglossus, will move to species page soon as we have additional images in the guide already. Thanks for sharing!
