Yes doc! You are right :) I somehow misidentified it. Thanks.
Looks for me like a Coreoidea. Looks similar to a Coreidae, besides the glassy part at the back. Do you think it is a Phymatinae, Ambush Bug? This would indeed be a Reduviidae, but the body might looks different in these. Note also the spiky pronotum. So I am only a little bit sceptic about this being a Reduviidae, but cannot give you a reasonable alternative. Interesting one!
