Hey,

What is this lovely creature......

looks like an assassin bug.

Holy shit, you are correct, that is a damned proper name for this beast. Just googled it and some choice quotes:


Assassin bugs are aptly named because of their behavior of lying in ambush for their insect prey. This Hemipteran (or true bug) uses its long beak to stab the victim, inject a lethal toxin that dissolves the victim's tissue, then suck the liquefied tissues through its long beak.

Beware, Assassin bugs are aggressive and not afraid to attack creatures much larger than itself.


Wow... I had to sit there for 20 seconds, an inch away from this damned thing to get that pic :l
