I thought it was a coleus mosquito. We're located in PA farmland and just moved here from VA. I have three great pictures which I'll share with you.

A good guide to purchase for quick ID is Kenn Kaufman's field guide to North American Insects. The lead author is Eric Eaton who has the blog "bug eric" I use that guide a lot. Another good one is Dr. Art Evans guide that he wrote for the National Wildlife Federation. They are both excellent resources. Thanks again for your kind words.
