I saw one last week on my siding as well. I believe they are mostly nocturnal so it is harder to come across them. They are harmless and will not hurt you.

First in smithville on the door outside. larger, the size of my forarm. And then just now, inside my home a little larger then the one pictured. Its back claw was much larger and almost resembled bark. this is the second of the same species in less then a month i saw. First in smithville on the door outside. larger, the size of my forarm.

This is the exact insect I found, but it was missing a front leg. I think my dog might have been playing with it. I was also surprised to see it in the fall in such a cold climate.
