Do box elder bugs eat fruits?

Some birds, rodents and spiders may include box elder bugs [Boisea trivittata] among their 'Plan B' backup list of food sources. Specifically, the wildlife that are known to eat the bugs when food is scarce are chickens, ducks and geese; chipmunks, mice and rats; and Spiders. But nobody or nothing really enjoys a box elder bug meal. In fact, the orange colors on the top of the bug's body is just that sort of warning to nature. Generally, orange or red coloring means awful smell and bad taste, in nature.
