juice box: a Zelus luridus assassin bug drinks the life out of a little parasitoid wasp.

the first legs in Zelus and some other assassin bugs are covered in glue-tipped hairs, which help hold onto tiny, fast moving prey. other species—I think a Southeast Asian genus—collect sticky tree sap and apply it to their legs!

I've received so much encouragement from my first post, I like to believe it's because that Aproida balyi looked so polite in her photos. in continuing the theme, I offer you some assassin bug faces:

Gnimatus wallengreni above, Pristhesancus plagipennis below! From the same tribe, Harpactorini.

i just think they look very friendly, nice boys with long snoots 👍

I saw. SO MANY BUG today. (Sorry in advance for bad phone camera quality and shaky hands)

Male March fly!!! (Thanks to @microecobus for the ID!)

Baby sawfly!

Tiny assassin bug!

Flat bug (actually what they're called) and a zebra jumping spider!

Better look at the jumping spider!

Male California glowworm (species of firefly where only the babies and wingless females glow)!

Aphids!

Spittlebug (hiding in the foam on the leaf)!

And last but not least, a huge male snakefly (females have long ovipositors)!!!! So cool to find this one, I've only seen one in person once before in my life!

That's not counting the crane flies, honeybees, ants, little round orange mite, various flies, brown marmorated stink bug (of course), tiger butterfly, boxelder bugs, and tons of little parasitoid wasps I saw pollinating. An excellent bug day for Rev!
