Hi Brent,
This is a Stink Bug in the genus Brochymena, commonly called a Rough Stink Bug or Tree Stink Bug We have gotten several letters per week for the past month requesting their identification. Like the Western Conifer Seed Bug, Brochymena Stink Bugs frequently enter homes as cool weather approaches. They will hibernate through the winter and they will not damage the home nor its contents, and they pose no threat to the human inhabitants.
