Can I get an ID or a rough guess on this little guy? Sorry the pics are so crappy, I took them with my phone. He (or maybe a whole hatch, I'm assuming he's a nymph) was hanging around my craft table all weekend a few weeks ago and brought a smile to my face every time I spotted him.

Also had a stag beetle that decided it'd try to climb up my leg while I was chatting with a customer. I didn't get a pic, though.

 
Lol, it is a Zelus assassin bug. Pretty feisty, they give a nasty bite when bigger. I have one, they are fun to watch them feed.

Wish I could've snagged him but I was out of town and he wouldn't have survived the car ride home.

Plus, no specimen jars or anything although a drink cup might've been modified... do you guys keep some in your car or something for cool critters you run across?
