The story follows a Medjay named Bayek, and explores the origins of the centuries-long conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins, who fight for peace by promoting liberty, and The Order of the Ancients—forerunners to the Templar Order—who desire peace through the forced imposition of order.

Assassin bug nymph hatchlings. Still covered in the mucusy yuck from the egg case. These were all shot hand held with a 70-200L lense with a full stack of macro tubes and varying degrees of zoom. Because of the hand held, heavy post production sharpening was needed. Wind was blowing like mad as it usually is here. As you know, with macro tubes it's all manual focus...
Reduviidae (from the contained genus, Reduvius which comes from the Latin reduvia meaning hangnail or remnant) is a large, cosmopolitan family of predatory insects in the suborder Heteroptera. It includes assassin bugs (genera include Melanolestes, Platymeris, Pselliopus, Rasahus, Reduvius, Rhiginia, Sinea, Triatoma, and Zelus), wheel bugs (Arilus cristatus), and thread-legged bugs (the subfamily Emesinae, including the genus Emesaya). There are about 7000 species altogether, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera.
This was the first of three very impressive assassin bugs seen that day. It was fairly large (estimate was just under 2 cm). It was shown to me by Bill. We were not together to any extent but well separated from the others for much of the day.
Help with ID would be welcome.
