Loddy called it a stink bug, and swerve called it a blister bug. It's an big ol' ugly thing and I didn't disturb it.

I think Swerve's correct - StinkBugs have broader bodies. Beautiful pic and good thinking on the printer prob.

It's an assassin bug, one of the true bugs. Stink bugs tend to have bright colors to warn predators, and are flatter and more shield like. Vessicant beetles are longer and more cylinerical, and also have bright colors.
