Hey Keith, what do you think for this spotting? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7124462

Thanks Keith. That first link is incredible! Is it really going to eat that clubhead? Seems like it would be the other way around.

Looks like a Predatory Stink Bug nymph. These things are amazing as they will eat anything they can catch, including bugs much larger than they are. Take a look at these images from Bug Guide. http://bugguide.net/node/view/543967 http://bugguide.net/node/view/305742 This one looks like something in Podisus http://bugguide.net/node/view/4732
