One more tonight/this morning. This is a stilt bug (family Berytidae). It is another of the true bugs (Hemiptera). This one, however, is only part "good". It is also unusual in that it will both suck plant sap and predate on small insects. A few of these shouldn't do much harm to the plant. They are also rather intersting looking, I think, because of their "elegant" long legs and antennae. This one was perched on some Coleus last year.
