Thanks for the homework Gordon :) I will look into this tonight.

This is one of the leaf-footed bugs (family: Coreidae), possibly a western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis). See http://bugguide.net/node/view/245/bgimage for more information. Will be interested in what you come up with.
