I don't know how to search the bugfiles with the information: red bugs everywhere! They look like little beetles. I'll get a shot of them. WHAT are they and do I kill 'em?
I have red bugs ... ??
here they are
another shot .... and I mean they are EVERYWHERE in my garden!
OK, it's a boxelder bug. Nevermind.
Pegdog,
You figured it out about the same time I was going to post this link...

I hate them too!
What do they do? Or where are they coming from? Do they really eat tomatoes? I have about 10 plants to save??
hostamomma - great link. thanks. it looks like soap spray and a vacuum is the answer. I am glad they are harmless. phew.
