Do you know the name of this bug?
I found it on Memorial Day on this Siberian Iris.

Assassin Bug
Hi Spencer,
This is a beneficial, predatory Assassin Bug in the genus Zelus. They are reported to bite if carelessly handled, and the bite is allegedly somewhat painful, though there is no lasting effect.
