This image isn't needed for the Guide, but it will be visible here for 30 days until removed by the system.

Looks like the nymph (immature form)...
...of an Assassin Bug in the genus Zelus.

They can deliver a painful bite if they feel threatened, but they don't suck blood or transmit diseases.

Welcome to BugGuide!

No problem:)
