Ken, I have no idea as to what bug this is. The photos are great and the first two are awesome in DDLs. Good job, my friend,

Thanks, Greg. It did make for good images no matter what bug it is.

It looks like the common stink bug.

I don't think so, OlinBost. I have lots of those. This is different. Thanks for looking.

I do believe it is an Assassin bug of some sort. Thanks for looking, motorman.

Loks like a member of family Reduvidae subgroup Triamoninae - kissing bugs are a member of this family of bugs. Not really dangerous in North America as of yet- like to bite other mammals.

Thanks for the link, JimWr. I do believe it is a member of this group.

Photo of Kissing Bug.

Thanks for the image, al13. I think my bug has been eliminated as a Kissing Bug.

I did a search through several hundred images and found no direct match. I would e-mail pics to your local and state agricultural extensions, asking for an opinion. You may want to try and get some with more views, more angles to help with ID. Local University/College may also help, and state/county health departments. I am not an entomologists. Do not go to their "kissing booth".......

I thought of that. Only saw one bug and it flew away before I could get more images. I will return to the scene of the crime, however. Thanks for commenting, olemikey.

Where has this kissing bug been, I never heard of it before yesterday... now all of a sudden in the news

Good question. I guess the media is running out of Trump hate. Thanks for commenting, Redmond.

Hope I'm wrong but it sure looks like one. Bad news if it is because it was on my property. The last image is not very good but it's the only dorsal view I have.

I do not know, did you kiss it, did it kiss back?

Thanks, TBerwick. I think I'm ok. Looks like it's not a Kissing Bug. I hope not.

👍😄
