These are also from my recent Saturday trip to Mercer Gardens. A lovely morning.

#1 Not sure what this is, thought it was a plantbug, but it sorta looks like an ant

Wonderful series Kenny.
Pretty certain #1 & 2 is an ant mimicking plant bug like this http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmecoris_gracilis but can't see any sign of a proboscis ?
Wonderful colour/composition on # 3

Thanks Brian, John and Michael.

@Brian--a little looking at bugguide.net produced this look alike.
