    What kind of beetle? CT USA

    Yes; as you probably know, that's part of iNaturalist. You can do similar things on their website via a desktop. It is very useful for suggestions and saving time by narrowing things down. But, like Merlin for birds, you should never blindly rely on it if you want an accurate ID.

    What kind of beetle? CT USA

    Yes, almost endless diversity when it comes to terrestrial arthropods. BugGuide.net is a great source for information about, and identification of, little North American beasties (north of Mexico).

    What kind of beetle? CT USA

    That's what it looked like to me, but I assumed, without researching it, that it would be out of range. But I see now that while native to the western North America, they have found their way recently to the eastern United States as well as Europe.

    What kind of beetle? CT USA

    Neither a beetle nor a cockroach--not even in the same order. It is a true bug, order Hemiptera. Probably a leaf-footed bug given the phlanges visible on the hind legs, which feed on plants; likely genus Leptoglossus.
