Your letter to the bugman: About 1/2 – 3/4 of an inch long.
I’ve had this little bug hanging out in my kitchen for several days. It startled me a few times because I thought it was a spider at first. Just curious what it is! Never seen a bug like it before.

Dear Kenzie,
This is a Sycamore Assassin Bug. It is an outdoor, predatory insect and it will not infest your home. Like other members of the family Sycamore Assassin Bugs should be handled with caution as they might bite if carelessly handled or if accidentally encountered in a situation where they feel threatened.
