A Thread-Legged Assassin Bug, all legs and antennae, that was hanging out in my camp in Canyonlands. It’s got raptorial forelegs like a mantis for snatchin up bugs and a needle-like proboscis for sucking out their insides like a 9$ smoothie. Some of these species walk across spider webs to steal prey or eat lazy spiders, and others are ambush predators like the mantids, although they’re more closely related to aphids than mantids. #myphoto #travel #wildlife #insects #animals
