They're everywhere and I've asked everyone, nobody knows. It's bugging (HEH) the fuck out of me. I thought they were stink bugs at first, but they appear to be much narrower and the head shape seems to be different. They're very slow-moving and seem to be pretty harmless. They're like the sloths of insects.

It looks like a stink bug. I think stink bug refers to a family of insects, not a specific type of insect, so the small differences in shape shouldn't matter too much.

One of those things bit me b4!!!! No Joke. I was driving to the store and i felt a sting on my head under my hat. I pulled over and one of those things was in my hat. They have a little retractible snorkel. This one was brown.

This is an assassin bug (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). They are general predators on other small arthropods, but some tropical/subtropical species feed on human blood and can transmit a protozoal disease (Chagas’ disease) to humans. However, although some northern species can give a painful ‘bite’ if mishandled, none are of any real medical importance. Also, some species will wander indoors while in search of prey. One species often found indoors is the ‘masked hunter’ (Reduvius personatus), see http://www.extension.umn.edu/projects/yardandgarden/ygbriefs/images/entomology/colorslide/maskedhunter.jpg for an image and http://www.uvm.edu/extension/publications/el/el254.htm for a fact sheet.

Also Coja, I looked it up, and it looks similar, but not too much. These seem wider.

I was thinking the same exact thing but it's snout doesn't seem of an assassins bug. And it looks small compared to one.

If it is an assassin bug. Put it on your hand and see if it will suck your blood!

It will only hurt for a second. The saliva from it will numb the area it's feeding on. :realsmug:. Put it on your dingaling.

This is a mantidfly (Neuroptera: Mantispidae). They superficially resemble a preying mantis, but are in an entirely different order. They are harmless to humans, but are voracious predators on other small arthropods. The larvae feed primarily on the egg sacs of ground-dwelling spiders.

Sorry for the bump but I just found out what it is, it's apparently a Western conifer seed bug.

It resembles a stink bug and apparently emits aroma, but it's not too closely related.

Also, gross bug is gross. I had one of those on my car the other day but it was not nearly as big as that. D: I'd have freaked had it been that big.
