Not really a beetle, but a true bug (assasin bug); and a really cool one, at that. Great eye for spotting and capturing such a good shot of it! Never seen one with those markings. Think I'll put him in my favorites.

The upper edge, and the leg behind that, are just out of focus enough and light colored enough to distract my eyes; nevertheless, a marvelous photo. I love the "gradation" in color in the background, it's very effective.
