Description
I believe this is some variety of assasin bug or predatory stink bug, he was hanging out on my hydrangea tree stalking the bees that were attracted to the flowers. I have a night shot of him but I am always afraid to post anything experimental. I guess I could post them in the forums for advice. Anyway, going to try to catch up on some commenting because I will not have time tomorrow.
Thank you for your much appreciated advice and have a wonderful weekend!
