A perfect fella. 10/10. It is a western conifer seed bug, which is a type of leaf-footed bug :)

Leptoglossus occidentalis
Western conifer seed bug
Chinche americana del pino
23 of November 2022 — Maryland, USA
The western conifer seed bug uses its proboscis to stab the cones of conifer trees and feed on their sap, which affects the development of the seeds (hence its name). It’s native to North America, but after an accidental introduction to Europe through timber importations in the last twenty years, it has become invasive there.
This species has a beautiful black and yellow abdomen, I just couldn’t get a picture of it because that would involve lifting its wings and I didn’t want to bother it, as that might make it release a smelly defense.

@emo-mothman submitted: No id needed, but I thought you'd appreciate this lovely western conifer seed bug found on my recycling bin. They know the blue brings out their colors.
I do appreciate them! Brown bugs are often super pretty up close :)

Western Conifer Seed Bug
I found this little guy almost drowning in my cats’ water dish, luckily I was just in time, scooped them out and they were alright.

It's starting to warm up again after a brief chilly spell, which means I can see a few more critters before the snow falls! I found a giant wheel bug at a gas station (which my mom affectionately calls wheelie bugs) and a seed bug on our garage!
