Arilus cristatus
What is it? Six legs, about 1/2" long, beautiful "don't touch me" coloration... Someone suggested a Hemiptera nymph, but I couldn't find any H. Nymphs as big as this guy in my research. Also, the back of his thorax was flat, flared out like an arrowhead and tilted up at about a 70* angle.
