Lulie,

This forum is for questions relating to adding data to the BugFiles database.

We have a forum on Insect and Spider Identification here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/bugid/all/
and if you post your question there, you may get some help,

If you have an image, you could attach it to the message you post for a better chance of getting an identification

Having said that, I think I am able to identify your bug. It is certainly one of the Assassin Bugs in the family Reduviidae. I am pretty sure that yours is the so-called Wheel Bug - Arilus cristatus: http://bugguide.net/node/view/425285/bgimage
