Last year around the middle of the growing season. I had a brownish grey bug attack
my squash plants, whicch were thriving until these pest got to them. The stems would
first weekend and than the whole vine. Eventually the whole plant went.

I wish I would of got a picture. These bugs looked almost like a box elder bug.

I did try to kill them with a soap detergent mix. They seemed to like it more.
Please help
