Orange Assassin Bug

Pselliopus barberi

Description:

Assassin bug and it's prey, I caught up with it later for a better photo guess it was done with it's breakfast. Assasin bugs that feed on warm blooded animals have a thin straight beak, those that feed on other insects have a stout beak. Some can provide a painful bite, though this one did not when I handled it.

Habitat:

Urban
