| An assassin bug of some kind, I think. |

| I think it is some type of "stink bug". Yes, that is what they are collectively know as. They have that characteristic 'shield shape' and a pointed snout.? "Our children are the messages we send to a time that we will never see." |

| I think assassin bugs are beneficial. But not by my door! Let's see if anyone else has an answer. (Bill — we cross posted. You type faster than I do. (Maybe even think faster.) |

| Leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus. I don't think it is Leptoglossus zonatus because it is missing the marks behind the head. Maybe L. clypealis? L. zonatus showing the marks that are missing from the ID bug: https://bugguide.net/node/view... L. clypealis: https://www.opsu.edu/Academics... |

| Agree with leaf foot bug. They show up in huge numbers, and ruin the maters. |

| Looks a lot like a stink bug as Bill pointed out. If you squash it, it will release a very pungent stinky odor. It is a bad bug, IMHO. |
