It was! Not everyday you see a tree frog packing his lunch for a day out on the town!

True enough Al!! We spend a hour with this little tree frog. It was amazing it put up with us.

That is a really cool capture. I love these type of shots where you will probably not be able to do a search on google and see another similar to it lol.
Thanks Ricardo and what I was thinking also. :)Quote:

We call them stink bugs down here. Whatever they are called, this shot is a once in a lifetime thing.

Would be interested in why they are beneficial. Like Liz, we call them stink bugs, and they really pick at my raspberries :(Quote:

The assassin bug has a spear like appendage that is part pf its mouth with which it impales and ingests its prey. Google images wil show you plenty of licalities & color variation but the body shape is distinctly different from the stink bug group ☺
