  5. An Assassin Bug, genus Sycanus, spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore on 8 March 2025. A large bug, maybe 2cm long and armed with a sharp proboscis to jab its victims and suck their juices.

  9. Also, right as I was coming home I saw a pair of mating thread-legged bugs (family Reduviidae, subfamily Emesinae) on the wall! I have only seen them singly before. They're extremely skinny assassin bugs with a mantis-like raptorial first pair of legs.

    They're very hard to take photos of as they will try to get away from you and also do this shaky, juddering walk. (Camouflage?) Lots of better photos here: bugguide.net/node/view/213

  24. I just love frostweed this time of year! Abundant nectar at the end of the season brings in tons of insects such as a Cisthene lichen moth (left) and a Pselliopus assassin bug, which was there for the hunting but seemed uninterested in this moth. Hill country, Texas.

  29. This time of year where I am, checking under Queen Anne's Lace flowers is a great way to find cool bugs. All found in the same clump:

    - jagged ambush bug (_Phymata_) with fly prey
    - long-jawed orbweaver (_Tetragnatha_)
    - swallowtail caterpillar (_Papilio_)
    - running crab spider (_Philodromus_), in the same flower!

  39. 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.
