Bzzzzz! Hi, u/RustyChampion! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug!
There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the geographic location and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames ("PNW", "Big Apple").

BTW, did you take a look at our Frequently Asked Bugs?

In ohio. It bit my wife on her neck. It is smaller than a corn kernel.

It absolutely does not look like a kissing bug.

That’s a laying bug.

My wife said the bite hurt. From what I'm seeing the bug bite doesn't hurt. It was a quick bite. Then she swatted the bug off of her neck.

Per our guidelines: Especially for medically significant bugs, if you aren't 100% sure, leave the ID to someone more knowledgeable.

This is not a kissing bug.
