ID confirmed by D.B. Thomas: Apoecilus cynicus

[Stone-- you'll find around many other remarkably sculptured bugs; i'm sure you'll see a lot of models to carve. =v=]

Predatory Stink Bug i think

Looks similar to Podisus genus. Wait for experts to get a correct ID though.
Nice pic.

I'm becoming fond of these attractive creatures

Thanks.

Unfortunate common name, even if it's accurate. As a dabbler in sculpture, I really like the shape and texture of these creatures. Might carve one some day.

Super shot!

This is one of my favorite insects, too:-) Found a couple of these in southern Missouri when I lived there. Keep up the nice work!
