Quickly running out of stuff to photograph; possibly the last for these quizzes this year.

It was easy enough with the first image
This should get it to species level
The orange colour was far more reddish but after 1 night's storage @-17C the red faded- unexpected
NU09200
ADDED 8v09
Decided to add this 3rd image now as I'm off for a short trip to Skowhegan, ME. USA.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Very similar to Assasin Bugs but I don't believe any of those have the hind tibiae expanded to resemble a leaf.
Also very similar to Chondrocera but this seems to be restricted to the Deep South (in NA).
I have posted a full dorsal image HERE
