Field Notes

Description:

I finally found a nymph of this species! The only real similarity is the coloring of the legs. The last two pictures are of a near-by adult. This Assassin is small (1 cm long), delicate and graceful. Family Reduviidae.

Habitat:

Oak-Pine forest a few kilometers north of San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
