Think this is a Damsel Bug. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Two shots as it was moving one of it's legs.
Don't think I would want it to stab me.

had to Google that bug, looks like you are right. Not unlike assassin bugs. Fine detailed shots, nice BG.

I saw something similar posted somewhere with the name of it Biran, and thought I would look it up for you, but I cannot find it again.
