Reduviidae, Assassin bug
I was focusing on a spider devouring its prey when this little assassin landing on my hair and then fly again to the nearby grass. Hey! nobody step on my head and get away that easy.... I have been looking for this species for a while, so the spider can get back in the queue. This is Assassin bug .... they most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent rostrum for feeding. If harassed, they can use their rostrum to deliver a painful bite, which in some species can be medically significant. Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that predigest the tissues they swallow. This method is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself. Some species tend to feed on pests such as cockroaches or bedbugs and are accordingly popular in regions where people regard their hunting as beneficial. Some people even breed them as pets and for pest control.
3 of my main DC assassins
Deadshot, Deathstroke, Merlyn (little change on any of them).
I haven't posted in a while due to school work, but expect that to change very soon. I got something pretty cool in the works right now...
Feedback is always appreciated!

I built these for Blocks magazine almost two years ago (as evidenced by the photography). I was sent custom gaming minifigs, and tasked with building an environment for them. They were fun to do, and the variety kept things interesting. Unfortunately, this appears to be one of those projects that dies a slow death on the shelf, as they have yet to be published. It seemed like a reasonable time to post these, as several of these series have or will be soon seeing a new iteration.
