Stink bugs? Box Elder Bugs?
What should I do about them?

Their shape is right, and their marking patterns look right to be a stink bug, but I’ve never seen stink bugs that weren’t a dull brown or dull gray.

It's a Spartocera species (leaf-footed bug), not sure which one specifically

Whatever they are, they are fricking up your plants

Correct. Leaf footed bug nymphs.

The organic method is to pick them off or let a chicken do it for you.
the less organic method is to apply sevin dust

Get rid of them or they will tear up plants. I've had another species of them at times and they love to punch tiny holes in tomatoes and suck the juice out of them and that causes a tiny spot that can lead to rot.

Frick a damn leaf-footed bug. I can tolerate green and brown stink bugs, but those leaf-footed bastards can kiss my arse. I kill those SOBs as soon as I see them.

Wife ain’t convinced these are leaf-footed

The body shape suggests stink bug instead of leaf footed bug.

Dawn and water in spray bottle. Will die within seconds. Just spray them directly every day and there will be less and less of them. It is sort of fun, kinda like bugasalt

It is 100% leaf footed bug. Spartocerini tribe of leaf footed bugs

Yea actually found them online under Spartocera Pantomima

Don’t tell your wife you were right.

You can also shake plant and swipe them into a pail of soapy water they'll sink and die. I like using a 3-5 gallon bucket held below each section I'm checking out.
(eta: couple inches of soapy water is all you need)
