What insect is this?
 
This guy has been living among the roots of my tenebrosa.
Does anybody knows what it is?

It's what's called a true bug. I don't know which species. Most of them eat plants. A few bite humans. The parasite Trypanosoma is carried by a true bug.

So I must get rid of it!

Regardless, it's one nasty looking bug. Getting rid of it would be the ONLY option at this house! Eeewwww.

"Hemiptera, mostly Heteroptera and a few Homoptera from Portugal... bugs, true bugs, shield bugs, and cicada, leafhoppers, and some aphids..."
Hemiptera from Portugal

True bugs are order Hemiptera.

Thanks for the links, ES.
This seems to be a Centrocoris variegatus, a sap-suckling.
