I agree with bayucca. This is definitely a Wheel Bug. No other true bugs look like this. :-)

Reduviidae, Harpactorinae, Arilus cristatus. So, yours is actually an Assassin Bug, not a Stink Bug. Note the narrow and elongated head and if you have other pictures from the side you can see the "wheel" behind the head. http://bugguide.net/node/view/1131148/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/454/bgimage
