This was difficult to photograph with my point and shoot due to the small size; scooped from marsh in a wooded area.

Anacaena
This is Anacaena, not Paracymus. There are not many (none, really, except teneral specimens) North American Paracymus that give a light brown appearance as this. Black palps in this case also support Anacaena.
