Son found it on the trash can and it didnt like having its picture taken. Kept looking as though when I was going in for the close up it would hunker down and ready to jump. Because of such this is the best I could do.

Anyway never saw anything like it and just wanted to see if anyone here knew what it was so my son and I could look it up.
 
Kinda looks similar to an assasin bug or a stink beetle. Maybe the same family or genus or something. I'd start there.

I wouldn't let a bug crawl on me, if I didn't know what it was exactly. Not very safe.

That is exactly the bug we found. Not a stink bug, we do have them here, but if I was to get that close we would of def got stucnk out. I hate them and the do stink to high heaven when bothered too 😱

Dont think it is a aphid either. The back end of the bug is almost completly flat. The pics I took are in high res so if you want can zoom in pretty good on it before it will start to pixilate.

Ahpids have many different body variations, depending on the kind. Nothing more than a common garden bug.

Aphids are tiny things.

I think this is a kind of assassin bug.

Wheel Bug Nymph perhaps.

That and the assassin bug is pretty much spot on except for the legs are a little different. Thanks now we have something to go on to get us the right one.
 
That bug is sweet. Keep in in a jar, find a preying mantis and watch them duel to the death. That's how we solved these situations in the country as kids.
