I'll
leave it a higher level until I get familiar with the adult assassins in the area. Thanks.

It looks like a Zelus
with those sticky haired front legs that Eric talks about (but we could be miles off!)

No,
I think you are right. I'm being cautious with placements until I get back in the swing of things.

Awfully robust for Zelus, but could just be the angle of the image. It is also a nymph....I would not rule out Rhynocoris myself.
