I'm wondering what kind of insect it is and the lifespan. Thank you.

That’s a western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis. Lifespan I’m not terribly sure of but it’s likely no more than one warm season.

Don't have anything new to add. Just here to gush :happy:, lol. I've always loved these guys! They're everywhere right now. Was in the library today and saw one fly from where I was to across the room. I think he was hitching a ride on my shoulder :p. It's awesome seeing them fly because the orange underneath their wings is such a pretty shade.
