The insect is a box elder bug (most likely) and definitely a Hemipteran.
Google box elder bug and you'll get a ton of info - they are real common. -- Mike LaMana, MS, CTE Consulting Forester & Arborist Heartwood Consulting Services, LLC Toms River, NJ www.HeartwoodConsulting.net "Mack McKinnon" wrote in message news  These critters -- about half an inch long -- have been all over my Austin, Texas yard and garden since last Spring.
