As in can they kill them? I've read that they have different proboscis types and that the ones with a long tube are plant suckers, but it didn't mention if they would kill my poor defenseless seedlings and I've got tons of the bastards! Anyone ever dealt with these before?I'm sure I can't be the firstIMAG0943.jpg
 
They're probably laying eggs all over your plant. What else is there for them to eat? Get rid of them try not to make them stink because the smell draws in more bugs.

Thanks doc! Turns out they are highly attracted to yellow so my yellow starter cups were calling their name! A perimiter of yellow sticky traps and a good soap and water bath for the plants(in case of eggs) seems to be working well, fingers crossed
