This little guy was about 5mm and was crawling up my leg while walking. Glad I didn't swat at him. This is very pleasant coloring compared to other nymph stages as, well as the adult.

Ha James! Lucky I didn't photograph it on my leg. That wouldn't have made a pleasant pic. Come to think of it, I don't think I could have even gotten to the angle to photograph it on my leg:)
Gorgeous...great image of it crawling up your leg!
Thanks Stephanie!
What a cool looking insect Bill! Your photos are fantastic:-)
