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!
Not many insects around at this time of the year (it is mid-winter in Sydney) so this assassin bug was a welcome visitor (at least for a macro photographer).
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!

The body of this assassin bug nymph measures about 5 mm. It has not yet developed wing buds. There appear to be droplets at the tips of the spines but I don't know how this is possible given the warmth and lack of rain.
In answer to a question, assassin bugs inject toxins and digestive enzymes through their hollow pointed beak after impaling their prey. I have read that if we get poisoned the result can be a painful, slow healing ulcer. For that reason I do not handle these bugs and show due respect for their little pointed beaks.
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.

At first I was a little upset to see the contamination marks running from the top left corner, but when inverted, it looks like rays of light shining from the heavens. I like it now.
On November 13, 1864, here at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Dr. Samuel A. Mudd was introduced to John Wilkes Booth, the future assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Booth had come to Charles County to contact the Confederate underground here and recruit men to help him kidnap the president. Mudd’s wife, Sarah, later wrote:
“The first time I ever saw John Wilkes Booth was in November 1864. My husband went to Bryantown Church [St. Mary’s] and was introduced to Booth by John Thompson, an old friend from Baltimore, who asked my husband if he knew of anyone who had a good riding-horse for sale, to which, he replied, ‘My next neighbor has one.’ Booth came to our home that evening to see about buying the horse. The next morning after breakfast Booth and Dr. Mudd walked across the field to Squire George Gardener’s. Booth soon returned, came in, got his overcoat, and rode away. The horse he purchased was sent to him at Bryantown that evening.”
Booth and Mudd met several more times before the doctor set Booth’s broken leg at Mudd’s home on April 15, 1865. The Mudds are buried in the church cemetery by the parking lot, to the left of the church. Dr. Mudd was born on December 20, 1833, and died on January 10, 1883. Sarah Frances Dyer, his wife, was born on March 15, 1835, and died on December 29, 1911.
