Assassin Bugs Hi,
My son alleges the bug in this picture bit his thumb. When capturing it, I accidentally killed it. Can you tell me what kind of bug it is? Thanks.

Hi Nathan,
This is a Orange Spotted Assassin Bug, Rasahus thoracicus, also known as a Western Corsair. Their bite is reportedly quite painful.
