These insects will cover their arms in tree resin in order to lure insects, mostly bees. Attracted to the resin, the assassin bug will then grab hold of it in a sticky embrace and pierce it with its proboscis, drinking the fluid until an empty husk of an insect remains. Found during a night hike in Iwokrama rainforest reserve.

Yesterday the tire flew off my minibus, I cut the head off a pit viper and I was banned from a commercial flight by associating with a narco-trafficker. Today I am bushwhacking through the jungle in the remote trail-less backwaters of Guyana, waist deep in water and praying to make it through the rest of the day alive. What will tomorrow bring? God only knows. The adventure starts here- pbertner.wordpress.com/.
This Assassin Bug awaits a passerby for its next victim. This harmless looking bug that resembles the Milkweed bug, injects a paralyzing venom into its prey. Not a bug to handle, its bite to the human is said to be much more painful than a bee sting.
I don't want to find out!
A type of Assassin bug with prey on Melalueca quinquenervia tree in a backyard at Lake Macquarie, NSW Australia. Tentatively named as Pristhesancus plagipennis .
I think this is an assassin bug of some sort, but I can't find it in my bug guide. He was sitting on top of these flowers with his arms stretched out, trying to catch flying insects. I spent a half hour watching him.
This shot was taken with the nikkor 105mm f/2.8 lens & the Tc20e iii teleconverter.
This is a true bug known as Assassin Bug because of it's method of obtaining food. It lays in wait for other insect species, then 'stabs' the unwary with a needle-like organ and inserts toxin(s) that incapacitate and digest the other insect's vitals. The Assassin bug then proceeds to pull the material into it's own body for nutrition. Gruesome!!! Yes, but this sort of thing happens regularly in the insect world. Some species are known as 'Wheel Bugs' because of the wheel-like projection on it's back. This is visible only as a dark area here because of the perspective.
This is a bug that should be handled carefully!!!
