New Kind of Assassin Bug
I found an assassin bug at the lake that looked different from any I'd seen before. It was eating a tiny little midge. Sent it to the experts & it was a new one for me. Researched but it doesn't have a common name. I tried to research further but there literally was no information out there other than images. So just happy to have a new species and here is my documentation of an adult and one of it's food items.
Assassin Bug (Zelus cervicalis)
Non-biting Midge (Chironomidae family)
