Bug ID. Friend or Foe?

[W0rthog]

There are many of these bugs that showed up on my hops lately.
Should I keep them or um a relocate them? Any idea the bug. Mug shot included. Thanks.

I'm think might be wrong, but it looks like a stink bug.

I think your wrong. I believe stink bugs usually all tan.

Flick it with your finger. It looks harmless enough.

I'm going with stinkbug as I've been seeing a lot in the past few years on the hops. The reddish color probably puts it somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd instar: http://www.rollinggreennursery.com/brownmarmoratedstinkbug.htm The ones I've been seeing are mostly dark brown/dark grey and it won't be long before they start looking for cover, can't wait.

I think it's a Stinkbug also. They seemed to like/feed on the lupulin. I've also noticed them on new blossoms. I think they are turning the cones brown. I've declared war and am picking them off.
