Assassins creed combat scene, can’t say I was happy spending a day fighting the Roman fleet, climbing a Roman tower and being chased by an elephant, and the level had to be cleared no try later on this one
The smiling assassin! A female Leopard Seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) rests atop a snow covered block of ice but remains alert enough to give us the evil eye! Image taken on Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands.
Captured this colourful fellow on the Fern Bush waiting for a victim. I chased it away, didn't want it to kill even one single bee, we need them all! I like photographing bugs, there is such a great variety here in New Mexico, I'd like to capture everyone of them on film!
Assassin bug (family Reduviidae), any of about 7,000 species of insects in the true bug order, Heteroptera (Hemiptera), that are characterized by a thin necklike structure connecting the narrow head to the body. They range in size from 5 to 40 mm (0.2 to 1.6 inches). An assassin bug uses its short three-segmented beak to pierce its prey and then suck the body fluids from its victims. A characteristic of the family is that the beak is curved and lies in a groove between the front legs. Although assassin bugs are generally black or dark brown, some species are brightly colored. Most members of the family live outdoors and prey on other insects. (Britannica)
I saw what I thought was a milkweed bug eating a fly but then I realized it had to be an assassin bug because milkweed bugs exclusively drink the sap from milkweed.
This is a nymph as you can tell by the incomplete development of the wings. When you see these little wing buds think nymph.
The markings are so similar to the milkweed bug that I would say this is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Assassin bugs use stealth and disguise to their benefit.
The Wheel bug, a member of the Assassin bug family, little known and lesser seen: an insect identified by how it kills for a living, and here is starting to raise its hind leg

Charlotte, NC – 2019OCT05 – Wheel Bug:
I spied it "hiding" in our potted bromeliad on our front porch.
The wheel bug (Arilus cristatus) is an assassin bug, and one of the largest terrestrial true bugs in North America, up to 1½" (38 mm) in length. The name "wheel bug" comes from its cog-shaped dorsal armor, the only insect in the United States of America with such a structure. The orangy beak at the front of its long, tubular head can pierce soft tissue (like your finger), injecting digestive enzymes and powerful neurotoxin lethal to other arthropods. The wheel bug feeds mainly on insect pests, thus is considered a beneficial insect.
A wheel bug's bite (pierce) is severely painful, and slow to heal in humans: be very careful in handling these bugs (cautious, or avoid handling), yet wheel bugs are not aggressive toward humans, and won't attack if not picked up. I didn't know that and I picked it up. Four times!
After I handled this bug, I read about its excruciatingly painful injection (10 times more painful than a hornet sting or snake bite).
I am holding this bug in 118 of the 119 one-handed photos I took today, some with our Nikon, mostly with my cell phone.
Hope you enjoy the 12% of my photos, and I did put the bug back!
Assassin Bug Nymph. I saw these and the adult Assassin Bug (see photograph below) consuming Pennsylvania Leather Wing Bugs that they had caught.
Thanks to John McNamara for the ID.

Main photo for the post on MOCpages. The comic is coming...
Terror has plagued the land of Valon. The people are governed by the wealthy Prince Tiberios Aviz, who has taken the throne by force and rules with an iron fist. The Prince is merciless and violent, taking what he pleases and killing whomever he wishes. He keeps order through fear, and none dare oppose his unmatched authority. In order to survive, the civilians must steal and fight, as the villages have become places of anarchy watched over by Prince Aviz's brutal guards. The people are too scared to do anything...except for one. A man seeks revenge on the Prince, his motives his own. He will do anything for justice. Some people call him a murderer, thief, coward, nuisance. But he is most commonly known as, The Assassin...
