Scentless Plant Bug?

Yes, some species of Apiomerus, particularly Apiomerus pictipes, are known as bee assassins or bee killers because they frequently prey on bees. Some Apiomerus species have bright red or orange markings, which can be aposematic, warning larger predators of their painful bite. Apiomerus species are found in North and South America

The intelligence quotient of the assassin bug is evidently about twice that of your average Arkansas hillbilly, MAGA or KKK member.  Of which there's plenty though hopefully JJ's  correspondent doesn't fit into the aforementioned categories.

In Arkansas, the "bee assassin" is a common name for the Apiomerus crassipes assassin bug, a predatory insect that preys on bees and ants, including Africanized honeybees. This bug is found throughout North America and can be identified by its distinctive appearance. While they are not a significant threat to humans, they are a predator of bees and other pollinating insects.

 No, she doesn't. She's a little kooky but would never vote for Trump.
