Pselliopus sp.
The genus is in need of revision. Even some of the existing Bugguide images taken to species level may be incorrect.

impressive
It's an assassin bug of some sort. Awesome colors. Someone else, or myself should be able to narrow down species on that.

After some research...
possibly Pselliopus cinctus? Almost certainly genus Pselliopus.

assasin bug
Thanks for your help! I'm sort of an amatuer digital photog, {very amatuer, lol!}, and i love to do macros and close ups of insects and spiders. It really helps to know what you've just taken a picture of, heh! Thanks again!!
