Apiomerus crassipes
Unlike many assassin bugs in general, Bee Assassin Bugs are good fliers. They have sticky hairs on their front legs which help them secure their prey. Bee Assassin Bugs are usually dark in color with yellow or red markings on the sides of the abdomen. As is common in nature, the bright colors advertise their own distastefulness to predators including birds. Adults are typically ½ inch in length.
