It looks like it might be some sort of what's called a lacewing. There are green lacewings and other varieties. If that's what it is, then they are useful insects to have in the garden. They eat aphids, caterpillars, and other pests.

Just got done reading...adults like her don't eat, females will only bite to protect herself while trying to deposit her eggs. Males are perfectly harmless and have longer mandibles.
Go fishing. :P
There are businesses which sell lacewings to be used as a form of organic pest control. If that's what these are -- then you've gotten them for free.
The reason I posted it here is because there are folks from everywhere in here, just had hopes that someone would know right off what it was. Sent a pic into www.whatsthatbug.com hoping they will kick an answer. Thanks for all the replies! Wait....there's something crawling on my shoe.....eeep!
Actually.......lacewings are also known to come into your bedroom & crawl into your ears while you sleep at night.
Nahhhh.....that was an old belief about earwigs. So you're safe. Unless if you have earwigs, too.
And of course -- dragonflies used to be called "darning needles", from a belief that they'd sew your ears or your eyelids up at night as you slept.
Although I have heard real stories of roaches in the ear, like you've indicated.

By the size of that thing, I'd venture a guess you moved to Texas! ;)

I dunno, I may beg to differ here, that bug seem to be sitting on some sort of a window moulding.
The only possible logical conclusion to that is that it's a windows bug!!! :blink:

Excellent. I see that they make good trout bait, too.
Ya know -- my wife and I once drove through an area of the country when the 17-year cicadas were in their cycle. Man, oh, man what a racket that was! Black bodies with bright red eyes -- and they were everywhere. Covering the trees, screaming from the branches, on the roofs of buildings, in your hair, in your food, climbing into your clothes if you weren't careful -- everywhere.
If that's a lacewing, you get a pretty titanic licewing in your neck of the woods, but it certainly doesn't look dangerous. No jaws and no sting make a reasonably safe combination, except from the point of view of the insect in question. That wing pose looks decidedly harmless, from a human point of view. Wasps, hornets and mosquitoes always seem inclined to leave the engine running.
