If I didn't know better I'd say this fella was the same one that was on my window the other day.. only the stripes were a different way. I've never seen a bug like this before & I can't find it in any of the files, or online!! hahaha Thank you for posting yours.

cindylove,
there are American members of the Bupestridae quite similar to the one I posted. Take a look at Thrincopyge alacris here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/46097/bgpage
or Ptosima gibbicollis here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/25565/bgpage
