Afternoon Erm, and welcome to WAB! 
Sorry, I don't have a GoogleMail account so can't view it. Please upload it to our Image Archive instead - Login - Wild About Britain Pics and we can take a look.
Take care, Jason  |

I have GMail but this link just doesn't point to a publicly accessible photo so I think it's the wrong link  |

Thanks Erm. It looks like a Plant Bug from the scientific family Miridae or similar. For a further ID we'd need to see the pattern on the body surface. |

First question: where's "here"? Even without just the silhouette, it doesn't look like a UK species to me... I don't suppose you're in the USA, are you?
I'm sure it is a hemipteran, but perhaps a lygaeid rather than a plant bug. As Jason says, we need a lot more to go on, to get any further.
Cheers,
Joe |

Yes, I live in the USA.
This was spotted on my window, there has been around 5-10 of these just hanging around. It has an orange outline around its shell. It's a very thin outline. |

Can you get a photo using the flash? The pattern on the wings will help. |

Could be a Bordered Plant Bug Largus sp. in the family Largidae. Genus Largus - BugGuide.Net
