They look fierce , don't they , Klahanie ?
I believe that they are harmless though .
We had a green species visit in Singapore , usually when we had visitors from parts of town where there was more habitation , and less insect life , and they used to get quite freaked !

The guy is less than 2". The close up photo makes him look fierce but he is not in real life.
