Assassins go through several stages of growth look.
Stinks will ruin tomatoes by causing scar tissue and making them impossible to peel.
Think of them as giant chigger bites.
Oddly this year I have had very few stinks and what few there were or are hang out around the okra.
Okra doesn't seem to be effected by them like tomatoes are.
Maybe a deformed pod every now and then but nothing to freak out over.
Okra may very well be a good trap crop.
One years observation isn't enough to determine this though.
