Bee Assassin
Apiomerus crassipes
39.7187, -84.0997
Field Notes
Description:
Red on top, black ventrally. Black face as well, femora have a little red but quickly transition to black. Coxa and trochanter are completely red.
Habitat:
Field
Notes:
I noticed this assassin bug in a field, feeding on another insect and became super excited. Its colors looked similar to a boxelder bug--orange/red/black, so I attempted to creep closer to it. Unfortunately, I probably ended up running like a maniac at it since I was so excited. So of course, it drops down a bit into the vegetation and eludes me.
