bug identification on trident

Post by Shills »

Hi,

Anyone able to identify this bug? I want to determine if it is good or bad and, if bad, get rid of it.

Please see the photos:

It is about 4-6mm long. Crescent shaped, very slender and pointy (pointy nose to pointy wing tips (I think). The pic gives a good side view of it and appears to show the eye position. Sorry could not be more clear.

Any help greatly appreciated.
