Asopinae, Heteroscelis sp.
Host plant: black sage
This bug is the same bug from my previous spotting. Yesterday I found him in a tree in my backyard, I could not take good pictures. I thought it was a bug sucking sap. Then I found it again today, with its small meal stuck in your rostrum. It has about 9 mm.

thanks, riekos :D
Very nice!
thank you here too, bayucca.
Should be a Pentatomidae and could be Asopinae? Predatory Stink Bug.
Just an example for the flag-like forelegs (!):
