Assassin Bug nymph in my front yard yesterday. That's a pretty kind of place to be contemplating murder.

Assassin Bug, common name for a long-legged predatory insect that stalks other insects. They are found throughout the world with over 135 recognized species in North America. Most species of assassin bugs are considered beneficial because they help control insect pests.
The adult assassin bug is relatively large, usually 11 to 37 mm (0.5 to 1.5 in) in length. As with most true bugs, it has thickened fore-wings with membranous tips for handling prey. When at rest, the extended, segmented beak can be folded back underneath its body. Its folded wings overlap, giving the back a characteristic shape.
All assassin bug species are predatory, primarily feeding on caterpillars and other insects. The assassin bug uses its needlelike beak to impale prey. It then injects a venom that both paralyzes and partially digests the prey. The body contents of the victim liquefy and are sucked out with the assassin bug's straw-like mouth parts.

Kind of stands out in a crowd with those bold colors. It's a milkweed assassin bug nymph. A lot of insects associated with milkweed have the bright orange & black colors to warn predators they are toxic. This bug is not really associated with milkweed and got its name due to the resemblance to milkweed (nonassassin) bugs that do feed on milkweed. This one was on my Indian Hawthorn hedges. Confused yet?

Hard to get a well focused shot of this assassin bug nymph because it kept hiding from me. Fortunate for the aphid which you can see trying to pretend its invisible as the assassin scurries by. This drama took place on butterfly milkweed stalk/
Found at Tregole National Park. Queensland, Australia.
