Common Assassin Bugs (Pristhesancus plagipennis) have the long head with powerful proboscis. They use the powerful proboscis to puncture their prey. Their legs are long so that they have long attack distance. Adult bugs are brown in colour with transparent wings. Nymphs are dark brown to black with brightly orange abdomens.

Scientific name : Scutelleridae
Family : Scutelleridae; Leach, 1815
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration.
They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the thoracic scutellum into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings.

Found this very common bug nymph on Uapaca trees (U. kirkiana) in the miombo (Katanga, DR Congo, 35km NE of Lubumbashi, January 2015).
Field stack based on 18 usable exposures, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Cropped image, now 25-27mm high. Canon 5D mkii, EF 100mm macro 1:2.8 USM, ISO-100, f/4, -0.7step, 1/50s, natural light.
I noticed the other day that one of the trees at work had some cute little bugs on it, so I decided to take my camera into work today. I waited until lunchtime and then went and took some snaps. I had to climb in under the branches which where about shoulder height, it wasnt until I was surrounded by branches that i discovered that the leaves where teaming with bugs, which kind of freaked me out. I didnt take a lot of photos and will try again tommorrow
I was drawn to these bright red berries while out for a walk with camera and macro lens in tow. It wasn't until after I loaded this shot on my computer that I noticed first one then a second bug. That was quite an unexpected suprise.

I found this fellow a couple of years ago. Odd thing. I guess they go around and collect junk to cover themselves from prey. I think you can see its feet in this photo.
Thanks for Viewing.

Tried fiddling around with Picnik - didn't realize I could do this effect.
I know I shouldn't say this and I know everything has a purpose - but I hate these things. They give me the creeps. There I am sitting in the garden, minding my own business, when one of these brutes lands on my arm and tucks in. Yuuuugh.

I had no idea that these True Bugs (Hemiptera) hatch at this time of the year.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/60, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key on a Kaiser Adjustable Flash Shoe and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I held onto the plant stem with my left index finger and thumb and rested the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady. Also dragged the shutter to expose for the sky.
Black, bites on human, hunts you out wherever you rest. Nest finally found in open bag of multi bird seed. Eats seeds.
Climbs walls
Found in bathroom
then tracked next room dryer machine, humid conditions where large open bag of bird seed was.
Fly n bug killer sprayed regularly now.
Some Weevils can reproduce young on their own.
When you're heading home after the long weekend, don't get "bugged" setting in traffic and looking at taillights!
