Assassin Bug (Reduviidae, Hemiptera) on a leaf of Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus, Rosaceae)

This is another remarkable Assassin Bug (family Reduviidae) in the order Hemiptera perched on a leaf of Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus) in the Rosaceae plant family. You can see its amazing proboscis tucked under it's head. (San Marcos Pass, 11 October 2012)

 

If you compare my [Newer] photo taken yesterday, you can see the same brown scar on the leaf. This little bug hasn't moved at all!
