Answer 1

It is brown marmorated stink bug.
This true bug in the insect family Pentatomidae is known as an agricultural pest in its native range of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It becomes a nuisance pest both indoors and out when it is attracted to the outside of houses on warm fall days in search of protected, overwintering sites. It occasionally reappears during warmer sunny periods throughout the winter, and again as it emerges in the spring.
Adults are approximately 17 mm long (25 mm = one inch) and are shades of brown on both the upper and lower body surfaces (Fig. 1). They are the typical “shield” shape of other stink bugs, almost as wide as they are long. To distinguish them from other stink bugs, look for lighter bands on the antennae and darker bands on the membranous, overlapping part at the rear of the front pair of wings. They have patches of coppery or bluish-metallic colored puntures (small rounded depressions) on the head and pronotum. The name “stink bug” refers to the scent glands located on the dorsal surface of the abdomen and the underside of the thorax.

Answer 2

It's certainly one of the true bugs; I'd go with Squash Bug (one of several which are sometimes called Stink Bugs).

Answer 3

That's definetely a stinkbug. You can tell by the flattened back.

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure this is a tick. I looked at something like this freshman year and my teacher said it was a tick.

Answer 5

what's he walking across? a corduroy skirt? Looks like a beetle of some kind- don't kill him just pick him up in a paper cup and put him outside

Answer 6

I agree...it looks like a stinkbug to me, too.
