[CAUTION: This message originated from outside the Foundation.

As some of you may remember we have some plants growing in our galleries as part of an art piece. I have placed traps around the plants at night and have been putting neem oil and diatomaceous earth down. We are still fighting what I think is a fungus gnat problem and recently found these small red bugs on our traps. Any ideas what they could be? I also included a picture of what I am assuming are the fungus gnats. Should I be worried about these new red bugs? Thanks so much for all your help and advice and Happy Holidays!
