Last year in the middle of the growing season my squash plants were attacked by a brownish grey insect, Itlooked almost like a box elder bug. It did not go after any other vegetables in my garden. I tried a dish detergent solution that was recomended
to me. It did not work. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the insect. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Thank You

Without a picture, it may be difficult to ID...here are some suggestions, with pictures.
