Damsel bug? - Hoplistoscelis pallescens - Female
Framingham, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
September 23, 2007
Size: about 1.5cm long
Have I finally found a damsel bug (Nabidae)? I posted what I thought might be one to BugGuide a long time ago but it turned out to be an assassin. This one seems more like Nabidae to me.

Found this in the back yard when I shined a flashlight on what I think is a trumpet creeper vine.
