Guess
I am going to guess genus Euthochtha-we'll see how close I am!

That looks JUST like it.
I was going to guess Piezogaster calcarator because last time I had one of these things identified on BugGuide, that's what it was. Much bigger thighs on that one though. I guess I have two different leaf footed bugs in the goldenrod patch. :-)

Male Euthochtha.
The prize goes to Joe, who guessed Euthochtha galeator. Takes some practice to differentiate the two, but males of this genus lake the "crook" in the hind tibiae.

definitely a male?
I would think with those "fancy pants" and "white boots" it would be a girl. Oh well. :-)

Thank you guys!!!
