Hemiptera
The "true bugs" earn their name from piercing-sucking mouthparts that set them apart from every other insect order.
Hemiptera includes stink bugs, cicadas, aphids, and assassin bugs — a range that spans plant feeders, predators, and blood parasites.
If it has a beak-like mouthpart tucked under its head, it probably belongs here.
