I've read a couple scientific papers talking about this assassin bug, but I was never able to see a picture of one until now. Thanks for helping me solve that mystery!

Assassin bug. Not sure what kind. Beautiful colors.

Nope! I took the picture on my little MEGA O.I.S. 28mm wide lumix. And thanks! :)
