I agree with Reza's assessment on wheel bug. Also, when filling out the fields, go ahead and leave the common name and scientific name blank if you are unsure of the identity. When you type information into them (even if it's incorrect), the system posts the spotting as completed, even when they're unidentified. I'm going to clear those 2 fields for you and check the "Help me ID this species" box. Thanks!

This looks like a Wheel bug / Arilus cristatus which is an insect thus needs to be in the Arthropod Category. I am adding a link for your reference :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_bug
