food chainAssasin Bug and Bee
As everybody mentions, I too think this is an awesome site. We see plenty of ‘bugs’ in the yard and garden and the site really helps. Saw this poor bee poking around the center of the rose, only to come out from under a petal and pow, looks like the assassin but gets a big lunch. Of a couple of your pictures, I didn’t see an Assassin just like this. BTW, I’m in Houston, TX. The photo is reduced in size, but I can send the original if you want a closer look. Thanks,
W. Boyers
Hi W.,
Nice image of a Milkweed Assassin Bug, Zelus longipes. It is found in the warm Southern states and has also been reported from North Carolina and Texas.
