Picromerus bidens
Hey, one we can get to species for you:-) LOL! Great image, and we don't have that many of this species in the guide.

Picromerus bidens
Eric,

Thanks for the ID. I moved the pic to the appropriate place, and added two more images. I have a Canon PowerShot Pro1. Just recently I started using a Canon 220EX external flash. I put the camera in exposure time priority and SuperMacro mode, press the focal plane shutter option on the flash and am getting good pictures at between 1/1000 and 1/3000 of a second, with the flash manually reduced to generally between 1/16 and 3/8 of full power.

Thanks again.

Ralph
