This has been identified as a crane fly. It was sitting on the floor of the ladies' room, right in front of the door. It has wings and really long legs.
This is a geocaching travel bug called Bugs and Daisies. It is owned by CindyWoods. It was released in Fredericksburg, Texas, USA on 25th May 2015 and is in a race to get home before two other travel bugs.
Jae and I found it in a geocache in the Wellington Botanic Gardens on Tulip Sunday, 27th September 2015. Our friend Karen was with us and, as she has expressed an interest in geocaching when we have talked about it before we took her with us. She found this one easily and was very excited, especially when she saw this cute little bug.
You can see the back of it here.
Found this bug shedding its exoskeleton. Not sure what kind of bug it is but I have seen the exoskeleton remains in the area before.

In this crop from Bugs life 3 you can see its mouth used presumably for chomping at leaves on the insects she catches.

The name comes from the spiny wheel-shaped crest on their backs. It's a variety of assassin bug. Assassin bugs eat by stabbing their prey with a sharp mouthpiece on the front and injecting digestive fluids that dissolve the unlucky meal. I understand they have a nasty bite, so I wouldn't pester them too much. This one was too chilled and slow to care much about me. More info.

Adult Assassin Bugs often range from 4 to 40 mm. They most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent, segmented tube for feeding (rostrum). Most species are dark in color with hues of brown, black, red, or orange.
They use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva is commonly effective at killing substantially larger prey than the bug itself.

This milkweed bug is resting on a seed pod. His rostrum (beak) is folded underneath the head but at times he inserts this into the plant to suck juices. They often congregate on seed pods so I wonder if they aid in maturing the seed pod.

I think this bug is the one from the car lot across the street off on a test drive. It "came out of nowhere" and the one at the lot is gone. So I think "Nowhere" might be the car lot.

I am not a bug 'snapper' but when I saw this one on my parsley plant I just could not resist getting the camera out. Never seen one before. Does anyone know what is it?
