The same Assassin Bug (Reduviidae, Hemiptera) on the same leaf of Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus, Rosaceae) - they don't move much
This is the same Assassin Bug (family Reduviidae) in the order Hemiptera perched on the same leaf of Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus) in the Rosaceae plant family as my [Previous] two photos. You can see the same leaf scar behind it. These assassin bugs look fast, but they move very slowly. This one has hardly moved for three days! The wings look golden. (San Marcos Pass, 12 October 2012)
*Sigh* This is almost the last photo of my trusty Nikon D300 camera which I've been using since June 2008. It finally died after 165,738 photos - as counted in the EXIF info. I guess it's fair, as I've heard the shutters are rated for 150,000 photos or so. The mirror started sticking UP after a photo, and I would have to take another photo or two to clear it. Finally today, it stayed up. See my first photo today.
