These assassin bugs are commonly found in trees and shrubs. They are about 3/4" long and have bright green bodies with dark highlights

Again, a gorgeous capture, Richard! Kind of an amazing natural contrasts...the softness of the petsls as backdrop to the critter in all his/her (for Mandi's benefit...lol) complexity. :)
