Is this a Kissing Bug? #853042

Asked October 13, 2023, 1:46 PM EDT

Is this a vampire/kissing bug? I did a reverse google search on the dead pic because I didn’t want to get too close when it was alive and that’s what came up. I thought I saw another one outside so I took a faraway pic.

This does appear to be a kissing bug.  Here is an article on them in Texas.
