Phone pic this time! Common assassin bug (Pristhesancus plagipennis) nymph. Good for the garden, don't let them bite you – it's not dangerous but it *hurts*.

There's some catnip next to my chair on the rocks and the bees are still there sometimes when I'm sitting if it's not too late in the evening. I got a photo of bombus huntii but I saw bombus vagans too. Another masked hunter assassin bug was seen on the wall just a bit ago *points over there*. It was relocated to outdoors.

Been a bit of a stressful morning, so to bring back the good vibes have a look at this little guy! This is an orange assassin bug (Pselliopus barberi) and despite the menacing name, I think it looks very friend shaped :3

Gorareduvius gajarrangarnang, a new species of resin-using #AssassinBug from Australia, with notes on its behaviour https://www.taxonomyaustralia.org.au/ajt/papers/dwxqelusvi

"When they attack other invertebrates the sticky resin helps them grab them more readily... the #insect also appears to be coating its eggs in the substance... When the nymphs hatch, they have resin they can use for their first hunt"
