Hello there,
Today I stumbled upon this guy (see picture) in my garden. I had no clue what this could be, but after researching, I think it is a kissing bug, particularly the Bee Assassin. I was hoping that you could have a look at it for me with a possible identification, please.

Hello Yves,
It is unlikely that this is a kissing bug. See our fact sheet here for other potential ID: https://extension.colostate.edu/docs/pubs/insect/05624.pdf
From what I could see in your pictures I'm leaning more towards western conifer seed bug or bee assasin.
Thank you for your question!
