Species succinctus (Largus Bug)

I searched for this topic and am surprised I could not locate it. I am having these busg guard a tomato and they are increasing in number. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services Entomologist confirmed they are Largus. However there is little about them I can research. Some indicate they will suck on plants and fruit, while some others indicate they also will feed on mites? I am likely going to hand pick them and remove them. Does anyone else know more and/or have advice?
