Prize for figuring out what kind of bug this is!!

We found this bug outside today. We are not sure what kind of bug it is and need some help. We tried quickly looking it up in our Peterson's First Guide to Insects but couldn't find it. If you can figure it out, we'll come up with a prize.

I have to say that M. W. might have called you first about it, but I found it in the shortest amount of time and I am the first to post about it on the blog. It is a Wheel Bug which is a form of Assassin Bug. Pictures and description can be found online at: www.insectidentification.org/assassin-bug-attacking.asp
