ID request. I found this in a spider web in Tiputini Ecuador. I at first collected it thinking it was a spider. It was not until I got back to the lab that I discovered it to be some species of Hemipteran. I found several others in webs at a later time. It leads me to believe it may be kleptoparasitic, and those legs are adaptations for keeping the insect free of the sticky webs they reside in. Anyone know what it is?
