Question
I found an bug that is red with a purple to indigo colored head and two very large antennae.  It has a whitish spot on its back.  I've never seen it before.  I'm in northern Ohio and there are woods behind our back yard.  I wanted to find out if it was dangerous to humans or our flower garden.  Help me please?

Answer
Your discription might fit many insects so without seeing the insect it would be hard to ID it. If you can send me a picture of this insect I can see if I can identify it for you. Send it to [email protected]

Or send the picture to the Ohio Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic at this email address and they should be able to help.
