Field Notes

Description:

I just a wide variety of insects and spiders in the meadow. I find so many, that the ID of some get lost in the shuffle. This is one example. Is it a type of shield bug? Thanks for your help in advance. Small - about 1 inch. Difficult to recall.

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos.

Thanks so much friends. At first I thought it was a type of assassin bug and it has similar features. Great! I like the colorful antennae.
