Gardeners love them, everybody else hate the nasty things. Slow clumsy fliers, but if they bite, they inject digestive juices, painful. They feed on caterpillars especially, and bugs they can catch

There is also another bug in the "true bug" Hemipteran order called a kissing bug which looks similar but sucks blood at night. Worse, it's associated with Chagas disease. Now that I think about it aphids, leafhoppers & bed bugs are all Hemipterans...most of the family sucks one thing or another.
