looks like a "true bug" like a squash bug..so he's already started out as a hated bug in my book...he's likely to get his head pulled off at my house, like a squash bug. I can't see his proboscis, but if it is elongated he may be kin to a assassin bug and those things can hurt ya !
It is a true bug. It isn't known to bite though, I don't think. I also think the one pictured is an adult. They feed on conifer seeds/needles, and other similar items. Originated in California from what I understand.
