Yesterday, November 3rd on a sunny day around 54 degrees in Englewood Ohio, we saw this large flying bug crawling up the side of my parents shed. Never seen one like it before.

Hi Scott,
This is a predatory, beneficial Wheel Bug. They mature in the autumn and they often attract attention as they are the largest Assassin Bugs in North America.
