Rhiginia cruciata - Scarlet-bordered Assassin Bug? - Rhiginia cruciata
Tracys Landing, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
April 29, 2017
Pretty sure this is Rhiginia cruciata - Scarlet-bordered Assassin Bug, but wanted to double check. It was flying and landing very quickly. If I hadn't had my good camera I never would have been able to take the photo.
