What the heck is this bug? Packs a whallop of a bite.
Can you help us identify this bug? Bit my wife tonite, and she had immediate pain, swelling, and a blood spot in the middle of the swelling where it bit her. Small bug, big bite. Thanks for your help.

Hi Brian,
This is an Assassin Bug, probably in the genus Zelus.
