I replaced the original photo with a cropped image to better show the insect in question. Hope that helps. FYI the insect was sitting next to an alien mushroom species known as Asian Beauty. Thanks everybody===

Looks like...

If you'd like a more specific ID, please crop the photo so the bug fills the frame. Only you and the editors have the ability to click on the image and view the full size version. Everyone else is stuck looking at a tiny bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" and simply upload a cropped version. It will replace the current image.

Thanks!

Photo cropped at your suggestion
Thanks for the helpful advice, Ken. I just revised/reposted the cropped version of the photo. Look forward to your impressions now---
