Love the stacked details and the locked-in pose. Can't help with the ID - but you could post at bugguide.net...

Very nice. Such a strange creature!
On a side note, I've been playing around with the green backgrounds of files lately, since I'm aware that digital bodies tend to overdue the greens; I tend to desaturate, darken, and reduce the yellows just a little - when I remember to do it. Has the positive outcome re. macro of adding attention to the main subject.
