Sticky situation

Poor assassin bug....I found it on my balcony struggling to free itself from spider silk. Was hard to watch actually, it appeared to be a near impossible task. I took it down to the garden, where it continued to groom.

 

These insects are true bugs with piercing and sucking mouth parts - the proboscis seen clearly here underneath the antennae.
