>>1231180Those are a different type of bug. They don't prey on plants. They only prey on other insects. You can tell them apart in my area (spined solider bug) by the little dark strip at the very end of their body on the top (pic) and sharp spines, 1 on each side. As you can see they do indeed eat lady bug larva. Google up "predatory stink bug" to see what might be in your area.
