There's some catnip next to my chair on the rocks and the bees are still there sometimes when I'm sitting if it's not too late in the evening. I got a photo of bombus huntii but I saw bombus vagans too. Another masked hunter assassin bug was seen on the wall just a bit ago *points over there*. It was relocated to outdoors.

Been a bit of a stressful morning, so to bring back the good vibes have a look at this little guy! This is an orange assassin bug (Pselliopus barberi) and despite the menacing name, I think it looks very friend shaped :3

New predatory bug species discovered in Aussie wilderness uses tool to assassinate prey https://au.news.yahoo.com/new-predatory-bug-species-discovered-in-aussie-wilderness-uses-tool-to-assassinate-prey-023337274.html
Gorareduvius gajarrangarnang, a new species of resin-using #AssassinBug from Australia, with notes on its behaviour https://www.taxonomyaustralia.org.au/ajt/papers/dwxqelusvi
"When they attack other invertebrates the sticky resin helps them grab them more readily... the #insect also appears to be coating its eggs in the substance... When the nymphs hatch, they have resin they can use for their first hunt"

A pale green assassin bug hitched a ride on my daughter's shoulder. It was friendlier than the name would suggest

All these were taken at F16 with the flash units at -3.0. The achromat gives what should be a fixed focal length, but autofocus seems still to work within narrow limits.
It's great for snapping moths at rest or at night. Tracking more active insects is harder with fixed focus, but this #AssassinBug (which was scampering around on the wall) came out well enough to support an #iNaturalist observation. I'm pretty sure the species is Ectomocoris binotatus.
