thanks for the ID Latimeria, I took it out of the assassin bug mission
Latimeria
This doesn't appear to be an assassin bug: the body appears a bit too thick and the head isn't constricted between the eyes to make it look like it has a neck. However, it does appear to be in a related family: the leaf footed bugs, Coreidae. You were close, but not quite an assassin bug, sadly.
