Thanks
Thanks to everyone for the ID of this bug! It is truly appreciated. I saw a lot of these in the summer, but this is the first one I've seen this winter. Cool stuff.

Probably Western Boxelder bug,
given the location - and it has the more prominent wing veins seen on that species. See here in guide.

Absolutely:-)
Hannah is right on, as usual. I remember collecting these in Corvallis when I was in college.
