Gray mealybugs can be vectors for diseases. If one is eaten, it will be digested by the stomach acids, but it may contain bacteria in its gut that may sustain the acid and carry through to the intestines.

It doesn't look red to me. There are two things in this image, a brown and yellow. I'm assuming you're asking about the brown? What happens when you cut through it with a knife? Pineapple seeds should look like this:
