Can anyone take a shot at identifying this one?
Thanx
Mike
Maybe a young katydid?
That was my guess as well…

I’ll take a “shot” instead:
Compare your insect to tree cricket nymph (Oecanthinae) .
Head in image above is wrong for katydid at any stage.
OOOOPS!!!
Someone just pointed out that I needed to correct a “typo” in my original post.
I now corrected the post to clarify that I was asking if anyone could take a “shOt” at identifying the bug.
Fat thumb on small phone keyboard strikes again.

I was not sure where to post this, or if I should start a new thread. I don’t think that this insect is doing anything bad, yet does anyone recognize it?
Stink bug?
I don’t think so, I can find no photo of a stink bug that looks like that.
Hmmmm, maybe it’s a rare type of black stink bug - Proxys punctulatus (Palisot), yet look at all that white area at the bottom, and the legs don’t have black on it.
I have not seen it since I took the photos, one was just clearer than the rest, no different angles
Looks like a stink bug. Oblique view in image makes it hard to be more precise.
That’s a stink bug no doubt
