I think with Zelus sp. we are on the safe side. If it really is Zelus longipes, I cannot tell for sure. Why all Zelus longipes nymph on bugguide do NOT have white markings on the antennae and legs??

And why this one has the mentioned white markings?

parece Milkweed Assassin Bug ese seria su nombre comun y el nombre cientifico seria Zelus longipes ..
