I found this insect on my neck when I returned home from outside. Not sure if it bit me but it certainly scared the living hell out of me. I am not able to identify this bug and consequently decide if I should seek any medical help (and if so, from where). I have no idea what this insect is and how dangerous it could be. Any insights and inputs will be appreciated.
Much thanks!

It looks line an antlion. They’re only cause for concern if you’re an ant.
Isn’t that just a tiny stinkbug?
Stinkbug? We had a mini infestation of them a while back
Assassin bug. Related to stink bugs, but aren’t.
They will sting you but it’s not life threatening
No need for medical help. Except for giant hornets and centipedes (and some imported spiders) none of the bugs here are going to kill you. You may get a giant mosquito type of sting, but I’m sure you’d know if you were stung.
We’re you at a radioactivity exhibit before encountering this bug?
If yes, have you encountered any of the following side effects?
Increased proportional strength.
Hightened agility.
Ability to stick to walls.
A tingling sensation when danger is imminent.
If you have encountered any of these side effects, please consult your nearest cosplay retailer, and remember “with great power comes great responsibility.”
