This image was taken at Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach, FL earlier this week. I've never seen this insect before and trying to find an ID for it I came across some pictures of a Fishfly, which I think it resembles. Can someone verify that or point me toward another insect that this resembles?

I'm not much of a bug person but it kind of looks like a stink bug to me.

I agree with Carol, as that was the first insect that came to mind and sure looks like one.

This is a true bug. Notice the penetrating proboscus, slung under body. This is a macro-photogrpah, and I suggest that you re-post in the UHH section True Macro-Photography Forum at http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-102-1.html
We have three entomologist/photographers as active members on the Macro Forum. One will be able to answer your ID question.

Stinkbug? Certainly not a fly.
