Pale green assassin bug nymph (Zelus luridus sp.) on Red Trillium

There were three of these guys on the trillium, probably just recently emerged from their overwintering state (they overwinter in this nymph stage). Assassin bugs are beneficial, catching many insects that are considered to be pests.
