Move to . . .
Hi Sean,

I consulted a key now, according to it this bug belongs in Ligyrocoris (sister genus of Pachybrachius).

regards, Boris

Is it some sort of Seed Bug?

Yes!
It is indeed a seed bug, but I'm hesitant to assign it to a family (Lygaeidae has been split) or a genus, as there are several genera that all look like this.

Not a damselfly...
...if that's what you meant by "damsel." My guess is it's one of the true bugs, but that's only from the triangle patterns (and X) made by the wings. Here's a shot of a typical damselfly. Damselfly larvae don't have wings, as this does.

If you mean another kind of damsel, I'm totally lost and have no clue...

Ah, yes
there are Damsel Bugs, too. They are in the Nabidae - and can be found in the guide here. We're guessing this is more likely a Mirid, but are clearly out of our league here. Eric can respond with authority on this question.
