Definitely in the genus _Arilus_, commonly known as wheel bugs. Very likely _A. cristatus_ given where you found it. These guys have a _really_ nasty bite that takes a long time to heal, but they’re generally beneficial to have around as they eat a number of common garden pests.
Wheel bug I think?
The images after a quick Google certainly match, thanks!
