I was a bit hasty I guess. I looked at BugGuide. But only thought to look at Ambush bugs. I should have thought to do a more general assassin bug search. I honestly just assumed it was a different Phymata sp.. They are somewhat similar to a non-specialist. I should have put here as a 'Needs ID. It was an honest mistake. Thank you again for your patience and help.
You're welcome. But take a look at sites like BugGuide to confirm it, please.
You're welcome, but take a look at sites like BugGuide, I don't know much about US insects.
Oooops! I will make the corrections. Thank you very much Sergio Monteiro.
