It's a bug! Sorry couldn't resist.
Anyhow, great shot and crop work. I do want to say a moth? But not 100% sure. Jeff

It is not a bug. True herbivore bugs have a proboscis which penetrates a plant stem to drink sap. True predator bugs have a proboscis which penetrates another insect to drain it of its bodily fluids. This insect has a chewing mouth, not a proboscis.

Thank you very much, Douglass. I learn something new almost every day.

So do I Danny, my problem is remembering it the next day. Nice photo and I love the reflection of the antennae - it looks like a double string of little pearls.
