I found this bug on my front porch. I'm not sure what it is. it kind of looks like a wheel bug, except it doesn't have the "wheel" on it's back. It is about an inch long and black with a white stripe on its belly. It also has this red "spike" looking thing that comes out of it's nose. I think that peggyvan33 described it best, in her "what is it" topic. I do have pictures of it. Please e-mail me if you want to see the pics, as I am not sure how to post them here. I don't think that it is poisonous. One had stuck the red "spike" in my daughter's finger last summer. And another did the same with my 3yr old son a couple of weeks ago. They are just fine. It just left a red "dot" where it stung. If anyone knows what it is let me know. sunshine69771@yahoo.com
