Nope, only the first. The second is an assassin bug's shadow.
This will morph into another look soon. Still the same creature, tho.
They go thru five guises before adult.
Pretty shots.

Very, very well done and I like the composition of the shadow. All of them that I have found so far have been green and I'm hoping to find an orange one like yours someday.

They are all over a couple of the plants in the backyard right now.
Saw at least 5 this morning.

That is a good thing. Most assassin bugs eat plant pests.
Ambush bugs eat many bees and wasps, not good.
