Western conifer seed bug

6657.    Hi there, I found this crawling on my desk in my room in the afternoon. It was crawling quite slowly, I used a fly swatter to kill it. When I crushed it I noticed that wings had come out. From what I can tell it had 6 legs and a set of antennas. I’m terrified of getting a cockroach infestation or any bug infestation for that matter! PLEASE HELP IDENTIFY THIS.

Number 6657.  I cannot be certain because of the mangled condition of the specimen, but it might be a western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Coreidae). Although harmless, these can become nuisance pests when they enter homes in search of shelter. Click here for more detailed information.
