Wondering what bug this is that is sucking the life out of this tomato horn worm?

Dear tn_wildflower,
It is nice to see that though it is called a Bee Assassin, Apiomerus crassipes, one of the Assassin Bugs, does not subsist solely on bees. This is a very nice food chain image. See BugGuide for some comparison photos.
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
Thanks for the I.D. on that. Couldn’t find it in my Bug Book!
