I sent a email before about a bug on my brocolli plant and the picture was not attached. I wanted to know ifvitbis a beneficial bug or not and the name. I found this under the leaf of my broccoli plant and I wonder if it is a beneficial bug or was it eating my plant? What is its name? I live in miami Florida and this was taken in May 2013

Dear Niece,
These mating Harlequin Stink Bugs are considered to be pests on plants in the cabbage family, including broccoli.
