Any idea what insect this is? I searched Google and couldn't find anything real close. I found it on my maple tree. Any response will be appreciated...Thanks.

Watching. I've never seen them cause a problem, but I have no idea what they are either and would love to know!

Query for Resident Bugologists: Is there a correlation between the size of the "feelers" (I know, wrong word) and being bug meat eater? It would seem to me that they use them to sense the presence of something good to eat... that moves around, unlike needing them to sense salads.

Possibly a pale green assassin bug (zelus luridus)?
It does appear you are correct based on another Google search.....and unfortunately I removed it from the tree...nonetheless Thanks for the response.
