User's notes

It flew off before I could take some closer shots of the head and from the side. I really don't know what sort of insect it is.

Thank you, Bron.
Next time I will try to catch it earlier on a cold morning!

Yes a side view in this case could be important to rule out a true bug mimic :) Enjoy trying!
