Yes.
Your ID is correct, and this is a really nice image. Thanks for sharing! I'm still working on determining which Zelus species occur in your area, and I'll eventually assign species names. I've collected my own specimens here in Tucson, so can key them out when time permits....

Thanks, Eric
The picture lost a bit of clarity in the process but I'm pleased that it is usable and identifiable. I look forward to knowing the species when you get it.

Jerry
