Assassin Bug
I came across this Assassin Bug on a tombstone at the old Hollins University graveyard in Roanoke VA - October 2008. I didn't know what kind of bug this was when I took this photo -- I looked it up later on the web. If I had known about it's extremely painful bite, I might not have gotten this close to it. If you like this photo, you should look this bug up on the web. It's a fascinating little creature.
