Common Assassin Bug (third or fourth instar)

Description:

As all assassin bugs, Common Assassin Bugs have their long head with powerful proboscis for puncturing their prey. Their legs are long so that they have long attack distance. Adult bugs are brown in colour with transparent wings. Nymphs are black with brightly orange abdomens. They are also known as Bee-Killers because one of their favorite prey is the honey bee. Actually they will feed on any insects that they can catch.
