Hello, got this tonight off of my front door frame. Caught one in my kitchen. My wife says it's an assassin bug. Not so sure. I grabbed the kitchen one in a paper towel and smelled something nasty. When I caught this one tonight it gave off a foul smell like a stink bug. Only one problem, it doesn't look like a stink bug or an assassin type bug. She won't go to sleep knowing she might get a "kiss" from one of these critters. Please help if you know.
What on Earth is this bug? Dangerous?

No worries here - it's a long-horned wood-boring beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It's only interest is in finding the right tree or shrub to lay its eggs in...

On behalf of my wife and myself, thank you so much. Since I caught this beetle, I've been imagining them crawling around the house and on me. Shudder...
You are a very nice person.
