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.
