Thanks for the lead on my curious “spider.” I looked the Coreidae family up and I haven’t found a photo of one that is as dramatically colored as my visitor was yesterday. He was intent on avoiding me and kept moving to the opposite side of the swing gate from me as I was trying to focus on him. Thanks again for keeping me straight. Jim
Its not a spider, but actually a leaf-footed bug nymph (family Coreidae)
