Richard
I'm no expert but I'd say "close but no cigar".
The color is definitely different, mine is brown, and that black one's leg is wide further down the leg toward the foot.
Must be a close relative though...

How do you feel about ?

very nice picture
You can see the tubercles on the pronotum which the guide says are characteristic of this species (Acanthocephala terminalis).

That's what I'm going with but
I'd be interested to know more about color variation as many of the other Acanthocephala terminalis images are much darker, almost black.

Sharon, thanks for the compliment on the photo
It was an omen of sorts. Just when the batteries for my close-up flash went dead (the 2nd set), this rather large opportunity presented itself.

Yeah
I was in that area but I'm unable to match up the hind legs, white dot on back, orange last segment of antennae, etc.
