This bug is super destructive and highly prolific in a garden! The bane of my poor green thumb! :)

thank you that makes sense, it was found on a farm

This insect emits an odor, making it similar in behavior to the stinkbug, although it is in the family Coreidae, not Pentatomidae.

thanks, I wonder if it might be a stinkbug?
