From your link:

"In addition to its household pest status[citation needed], it has been reported to be a minor agricultural pest contaminating crops of tender fruits and grapes[7] in Iowa, Ohio, New York State, and Ontario.[8] The contamination of grapes by this beetle has been found to alter the taste of wine.[9]"

Not good.

Save the grapes! harlequin bugs must go!
