little brown/red “stink bugs”?

they’ve got wings but don’t fly often. i kill on sight, they have a slight odour when crushed but not really “stinky”. just want to see if someone knows exactly what they are, on the off chance they are beneficial mite killers (my assumption is they eat the leaves. i’ve also seen them rubbing their little paws on the buds and trichomes like they’re “harvesting” resin)

those things are everywhere in my yard right now

yep they started showing up in waves of like three or four on my window sills last summer. every day or two. then died down over winter and now they’re back. do yours smell almost exactly like almonds when you kill em (if you kill em) lol

LOL they do, they really gross me out for some reason.

just found this...guy on the right looks pretty damn close. closer than a stinkbug for sure. im in BC so not a stretch if they’re common in Maine?

My guess
