Small milkweed bug

Lygaeus kalmii

Description:

Small shield-like black beetle with red X marking on back

Habitat:

Back property of a storage warehouse in a rural farming town

Notes:

Blurry picture but physical features explained in the description. The warehouse where they were found holds tomatoes and I wondered if they may be attracted to the product . This is one individual, however there is a massive clustering of them at the same location
