Frank,
Right here in Issaquah on that warm sunny day we had the end of last week. I looked on a sun-lit wall of a building in a wooded area. This occasionally yields results in a time of year when not much is to be found otherwise. (They are often seen on buildings in the late fall as they look for places to over-winter).
These are not really "pretty" bugs at all.... sort of mangy looking when you get close!
