Assassin bug

Notocyrtus foveatus

Description:

When I first saw these insects I thought they were different species of Stingless bees matting (it was weird). Then, when I came close I was shocked to see they were, in fact, assassin bugs mating. They have a perfect camouflage for predating on tropical bees.
