I finally managed to get a photo of a Spiny Assassin Nymph that I am happy with. These guys are kind of hard to photograph. They are very small, dark in coloration, their bodies reflect light, and they are skittish. Photographed in Maryland.
A focus stack of 4 images shot with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE lens, Canon twin flash, Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400.
A crab spider dispatching a male marbled white butterfly on a field scabious in the Bill Smyllie field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve.
I am not really sure if this is an ambush or assassin bug? Does anyone know? My first thought was that it is a member of the former, however it lacks the typical crab-like grasping foreleg.
Assassin bugs are another diverse group of insects belonging the family Reduviidae (suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera). Over 7000 species have been described, most of which are predatory. Most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum).
Ambush bugs belong to the insect subfamily Phymatinae, They are called ambush bugs feed because of their habit of lying in wait for prey. They are successful in this mode of hunting because they have superb camouflage and crab-like grasping forelegs (which I do not see here?). They are able to capture prey ten or more times their own size.
Assassin Bug (Gminatus australis)
I don't see a lot of these bugs.
This one was on an African Daisy today.
I'm assuming that this exuvia belongs to the nymph that was next to it. Until I got a closer look I thought it was one of the nymph's victims. Kind of a weird scene...
This assassin bug nymph already knows what to do. Life in the garden is tough for these tiny flies...
They are almost all terrestrial ambush predators. Slow moving, but faster than the walking sticks. It's a little hard to see because it's at the same angle as the leg, but it has a pronounced curved proboscis. These are a relatively large insects and though not poisonous their dagger stab hurts.

Assassin bug tried to hide between tobacco leafs. So if you wanna roll and smoke that leaf you better be careful.
There were several of these tiny critters exploring the garden this morning. Shot at 1:1, with 12 mm extension tube.
Zelus longipes, I think.
They're very small, but easy to spot - the bright orange stands out against the green. I kind of like this perspective...
Name of this Bird is Eagle. I've captured this photo from my rooftop. The reason I've named this photo "The Assassin" because in the "Assassin'S Creed" video game series by UBISOFT use to symbolized Assassin's by Flying Eagle.
The ant has disappeared, hope he is safe somewhere. These strange looking critters are predators and good for the garden.

It is how it works. Let's say there's a massacre somewhere. There's an assassination, but the assassin never gets caught. I make people forget about them. Has there been a huge fraud? Call for me and I'll make them forget.

Plains bee assassin, specifically, Apiomerus crassipes. They "stalk flowering plants that are visited by bees, flies, and other pollinating insects." This one seen lurking on a flower in the Lady Bird Johnson Wldflower Center...
Family Reduviidae --This is a large assassin bug nymph. Too many genera and species for me to sort out.
