Well done! Among these is the interesting green assassin bug. I see a lot of them, and lately egg clusters on leaves which are possibly their eggs. Elongate eggs in a tight cluster standing up on their ends.
Thanks, Mark. We have an abundance of stink bugs and leaf footed bugs in our area so I come across them quite often. The assassin bugs are far and few between for me. Not that they are a rare find, they are just good at hiding which I imagine goes along with their name as they hunt for prey.
Ambush bugs are on my "I want to see one" list for I've only seen one or two ever and I find them to be quite interesting looking and of course they have an exemption from collection along with many others.
