Bee-mimic Reduviid

Notocyrtus dorsalis

Description:

Assassin Bug of about 1cm body length. It does somehow resemble a bee, but a closer inspection reveals a rather odd look with its huge thorax, small head, and very flat abdomen. hardly any information seems to be available on this genus, so any contributions are welcome.

Habitat:

Found among tropical vegetation in Papantla, Veracruz.
