I think it's called a Stink Bug, though I am not certain. I found quite a few throughout my last grow, and they didn't eat anything or mess anything up to my knowledge.
Anyone know if it's good/bad/neutral for my plants?
Thank you.

I have those bugs around my house also. We call them stink bugs too. Terminex comes out to my house once a month under my contract to just do general spraying and I asked them and they said that that is what they are called. They seem to come out when it's warm or to go where it is warm at in the house, hence them going toward your plants to be by the light.

There's treachery afoot
That is a squash bug....also known as a 'stink bug" very tough to get rid of. Diatomacious earth works organically and seven dust for death by toxic blast. If outdoors, place a board or roofing shingle on the ground next to the affected plant and bugs will crawl under at night as they like a damp environment. In the morning, put on your big ol' timberlands and start smashing. Additonally if you have trouble with them outdoors, can plant a few squash plants (hubbard and acorn work well) and the bugs will stay on the squash and away from your babies. Indoors...wow, never seen em indoors. Might want to look on the gardens alive website to see what they offer that is natural.
