I have seen before!
This funny bug belongs in the genus Heterotoma.
Nearctica lists but one species: H.merioptera - it should be that one, though.

By the way: new genus for bugguide!

compliments, Boris

WOW!
That's one weird looking bug! I've never seen anything like that before. What's up with the antenna?
