What is this big guy?!

White House Station, NJ

I've never seen this bug before which I'm shocked by simply because of its size and unique look. It's a bit bigger than a stink bug which are ramapant around here. He was pretty slow moving and he flies. I live in Readington, NJ. Oh - and he is quite patriotic if that helps ;)

Thanks,
Dave

It is hard to tell, but I think this may be your guy: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/560/
The wheel Bug is a predator of other insects and can deliver a nasty bite if you handle it. (but he is one of the 'good guys'

It looks like a Wheel Bug to me, too. Yes, our insects can be quite patriotic! LOL
