I thought at first that it was some form of stink bug or shield bug but the bulging eyes betray that. I think the chinch bug or assassin bug is closer since they do have the bulging eyes.

Thanks, Chris.  My thanks go to Scott Stanley for suggesting that it is
some form of Chinch Bug, though I have not been able to find one with
the same markings.

While walking around the yard this morning, I spotted this small,
colorful insect perched on the edge of a leaf.  My web search turned
up no ID.  Dean, if you recognize it, please enlighten me.
