Platymeris laevicollis

Description:

The "eyes" referenced in the name are not the bugs actual eyes, but rather red eyespots on the wings.

Habitat:

Field and scrubland

Notes:

Assassinbugs and their relatives are some of my favorite little creatures to find in my garden, so it was hgreat to be able to see some from other part of the world at the zoo. http://cincinnatizoo.org/blog/animals/re...
