pests Is this buggy ..

[wayright]

I am not very good at identifying buggys!
I saw this guy on my plant and wonder if I should squish him or let him hunt?

Great pic Kevin. Who did you have take the picture for you?

I really like how tough those assassin bugs look, they look meaner than praying mantises.

That impaler looks like it can do some damage, grasshoppers and katydids better beware!!

I'd tie a leash on it to force to do guard duty. I'm also joking, but come to think of it, it may not be a bad idea......

Reminds me of something from MIB Headquarters

yep that's a wheel bug nymph (arilus cristatus), a type of assassin bug. I see a lot of them on my plants. They stick their rostrum into insects and inject poison and suck out their insides. They eat big insects, even things like caterpillars.
