Nice find! This is a type of Assassin Bug. As adults, they are fairly easy to identify (once you know what they are) due to the cog-like crest on the thorax (that gives them their name). Welcome to Project Noah. This is a great community for sharing your own photos of living organisms. If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page for the general guidelines for posting, as well as some additional information on the site. http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
