Assassin bug catches its prey with its forelegs and penetrates its prey with the proboscis. That will paralyze and kill the prey almost instantly. Then, the liquid of the prey are suck by the bug.
Thanks for the comment Carol, he was quite amazing, I have not seen one since this spotting :(
Assassin bugs are cool! I found 8 (wheel bug type) in my meadow. I wish I had one with these colors.
