Hi Jenny & welcome to Project Noah! This is an assassin bug (Reduviidae sp.), it may well be a wheel bug but I can't make out enough detail to be able to confirm that. I have moved this to arthropods for you.

I don't think that's a spider. Looks like some sort of plant bug or something. It's definitely an insect and not an arachnid, because it has only six legs. It's a neat color.
