food chainBug "Eating" a Bee?
Hello! We live in Spring, TX (north of Houston) and found this on our car this morning. It seemed that the black and orange bug had "stuck" the bee…reminded me of a mosquito sucking blood. When the bug noticed us, it started dragging the bee across the car. My husband tried to blow them off the car, and then the bug flew away dropping the bee. Any clues? Our 7-year-old would love to know…so would we!!! 
Didn’t see it searching the site. Thanks!

Oh, wait!!! I searched one more time on your site before pressing "send" and found assassin bugs and there it was! Yikes! I’ll attach the pic anyway. Thank you!
Hi Bridget,
We are thrilled you located the Milkweed Assassin Bug on our site and your photo of this Assassin Bug feasting on a Honey Bee is a nice addition to our site.
