Hi Tim

Well done - but don't let the little shit bite you - this is an assassin bug - so called because it ambushes or just attacks other insects, sticks its mouthparts in, injects a bit of enzyme, and sucks up the inside of its victim like a big green milkshake

They don't attack us, but if it bites in defence or reaction (ie you step on it, or put your hand on it etc), it will stick its mouthparts in and you'll get a bit of the enzyme .... hurts like the bejesus - like being stuck with an iron hot syringe

Painfull, but more or less harmless ...... but I am a sook

Well done again my friend
Hugs
Rel

If you wait till it bite you before you squeeze and crush it, it may be too late...

Always make the first move and take the upper hands... :twisted:

The brain bug in "Starship troopers" is modeled on this insect :wink:
