Also, right as I was coming home I saw a pair of mating thread-legged bugs (family Reduviidae, subfamily Emesinae) on the wall! I have only seen them singly before. They're extremely skinny assassin bugs with a mantis-like raptorial first pair of legs.

They're very hard to take photos of as they will try to get away from you and also do this shaky, juddering walk. (Camouflage?) Lots of better photos here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/213

I swear I have seen an #insect called an #emesinae here in Southern Finland.
From what I read on the web, this is outside its normal range...
Anybody have more insight on what it might be instead, or if it is really here because of the global warming?

Here is a video, where one can clearly see the tiny raptorial front legs, as well as the long leg-sized antennas.

In case the video is too big, I will also attach a photo, in a follow-up post.
