It looks to my like an antenna going towards the camera, not a bitey tube

If you zoom in, you can see that the “beak” is behind the leg in the foreground actually.
This got me interested and I looked up heteropteran mouthparts. The best description I could find was here. Apparently the segmented larger part of the beak here is the labium giving support to the stylus. The stylus is the blackish tube that runs from the head through the labium. Maybe this means that the stylus isn’t actually extended into the human here because it loops back a bit on the head. So the claim of the meme might be wrong!!

I woke up once with what felt like a large scab between my lips, stuck primarily to the bottom one. In my sleep and stupor, I thought it either food of some sort or perhaps I ate a large booger in the night. The aroma was something else, though. As seconds passed and my brain began to make sense of what was actually happening, I realized that I had an entire stinkbug pressed flat between my lips.

This one time I woke up in the middle of night to scratch an itch under my big tee shirt on my back, I reached back to do a lazy lunch, then felt a crunch and instinctively crushed the damn thing. It was a yellow jacket quite close to my spine.

Absolutely despise those. The moment it turns spring/summer they get everywhere and try everything to get inside your house.

Fun fact, stinkbugs produce a similar smell to cilantro. So to some people stinkbugs ironically don’t stink.

What are you on about? Do you have different stinkbugs where you live? I like cilantro and stinkbugs smell nothing like it.

Its the other way around, to some people cilantro have a similar taste than the smell of stinkbug.
For these people cilantro taste awful.

They smell vaguely like watermelons to me.
