The red shoulder bug is similar to the box elder bug they are both harmless they just like to gather on mass
They feed primarily on aphids I'm not sure about red shoulder bugs
btlounsbury,the idea of biological control sounds good. Would this eat Red Shouldered bugs? or their nymphs? This place seemed to have an infestation of these bugs.
Yes!
Based on the spot patter
