Thanks for your answer. I ha
Thanks for your answer. I have only seen that one nymph with such a large area of red on its abdomen. There are still Zelus nymphs around but none of them has so much RED. I really appreciate that that "problem" is solved!

Martha

P.S. This is the first individual from Michigan submitted in November (and on the very last day)!
