I found an Ohio bug with 6 legs, black head, green and black body with yellow stripes on the black. There is a small orange edge at the front of the thorax on each side... Doesn't appear to have wings. It's rather pretty and colorful.

That is cool!

for some reason this bug looks like it's going to ask me for some spare change.

Hi Sayer, Great shot of a nasty bug. Did you know that the hairs around the proboscus are used to protect the face from prey's last attempts at survival? Tough world. Thanks for taking the time to review and comment on my shots as well. Best wishes, Eric

Ho, ho.. was looking at soft screens myself. Sure looks smooth compared to without it. Thanks!
