It is called an Assassin Bug and is a vicious predator that will nail any other insect you put in with it with its huge pointy probiscus.

Extremely cool.

Make sure you give it water.

It is a member of the true bug family of insects, and it's belly will get twice its size.

i just realized that this bug has been growing on a sweet potato vine i had brought in my house taht used to reside on my deck... i had seen the juvenile version of this and was actually wondering one day if it was an assasin bug. i left it on the plant and set the plant in my kitchen. then i watered the sweet potato vine and a couple hours later my house mates cat found this bug.... im almost positive it ahs been growin on the sweet potato vine... i should put it in with my mj but i dont think it would survive... there is no food for it in there.

I used to be a forest entomologist.

thats pretty cool, my gf is thinking about grad school for entomology! we are both pretty interested in bugs. She is currently studying the effects of pesticides on predatory bug species. I am more interested in plant biology rather than entomology but i like bugs alot.
