They are not good for gardens. Kill them as soon as you see them. Spray soapy water works.

They really only eat soybean and kudzu. Otherwise they are just a nuisance when they try to overwinter indoors.

Tea tree oil will kill these things on contact. thinking about trying to make a daluted spray to spray around the house but haven't had an issue yet since we moved to the area.

Stink bugs, they are native to China and we're introduced in the US a couple decades ago. They have spread rapidly but can't handle super cold winter's. Last winter knocked them back a little, but they'll be back with a vengeance.
Here's a YouTube vid on them with some interesting information.

The bug in my pic has a squared off end, unlike the stink bug in the video. Not saying you’re wrong, just curious about the difference since you’re the second to say stink bug.

Because they're actually kudzu beetles not stink bugs (well not those specific stink bugs anyways). http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/field/bugs/bean_plataspid.htm

Mmm... I see what you mean. I'm on mobile and didn't zoom in. Could still be a stink bug? Honestly I'm no help now, I watched an interesting YouTube video, that's the extent of my knowledge.
