Pictured is an assassin bug in the Zelus genus, probably Z. exsanguis or Z. luridus. These assassin bugs are commonly found in trees and shrubs. They are about 3/4" long and have bright green bodies with dark highlights

Great shot, Richard. But are you sure it is a "he"? And who does he assassinate? Wonderful detail!

Excellent macro there, Richard. But you know I kinda wonder what your neighbors think when they look out their windows and see you chasing bugs around the yard... Or do you tell them this is the way you get your excercise? :o)
