Greetings WTB,
This long red bug was an unwelcome surprise in my kitchen! I thought you’d get a kick out of the picture. In looking around, I think it is an assassin bug nymph. Is it a milkweed assassin bug? I ask, because I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to grow milkweed!

Milkweed Assassin Bug Nymph
Hi Julie,
You are right on both counts. This is an immature Milkweed Assassin Bug and we do find your photos highly amusing.

My husband just got bit by one of these things, and reports that the bite is quite painful. It left a raised welt with red dot in the center on his forearm.
