Ya once all bugs, larva and eggs are eaten they turn on the plants. Not the worst beetle to have if you have pests but in a pest free room they can do Some damage

Would their cousins be the farty beetle and the dung beetle.

The reason I asked about the damage is the two spotted stink bug is usually not a leaf chewer. It has piercing/sucking mouth parts that it normally uses to hunt other insect critters.
What damage occurred?

here in NY we have the brown marmorated stink bugs and they can be a serious issue for sure especially in the winter in a grow room or tent or whatever they leave little brown spots all over the little bastards
