What bug is this?

[paublo25]

I'm not sure what kind of bug it is, but I think it's part of the stink bug family. Had them on my vegetable plants and now on my poinsettia. I know how to kill them(farming pesticides) but I'm not sure if these are some type of assassin bug(beneficial).

I have the same bugs in my citrus trees. They're red assassin bugs.

Are you sure, b/c they are clustered up around the leaves and the poinsettia looks worst now that they have shown up.

Leave em in your garden! And on trees! They stab stink bugs and Japanese beetles and smash intruders that are probably making your plants look bad. That y they congregated. I've seen many of them have a stink bug in their grasps! Let em fight for ya. They help
