Thanks Fyn! The white balance for sure won't help!

Ah, Good point. I'm not sure. Good luck!

Thanks Fyn, but I don't think this is the ID. Notice how in the nymphs, the orange body segment extends to the "head" of the nymph, while this one is ended by a mark in the middle of the body. What do you think? http://bugguide.net/node/view/124321/bgimage
