Thread-legged Assassin Bug

Your new first photo is definitely better, you can really make out its raptorial forearms!

Ignacio, I share your love for the Hemiptera. They are endlessly fascinating to me!

Great spotting Ignacio! The Thread-legged Bugs are capable of catching prey, but they often take an easier route to finding food: they steal insects caught in spider webs. Areas of shrubbery covered with sheet webs of spiders seem to be favorite haunts, and the bugs tiptoe around on their impossibly thin legs, barely disturbing the webs, as they pick out prey caught in the silk. The thread-legged bug Stenolemus bituberus, which is native to Australia, preys on web-building spiders. It uses one of two different predatory strategies: stalking, in which it approaches its prey slowly and strikes when within range, or luring, in which it plucks the silk threads of the spider’s web with its forelegs, which mimics the behaviour of an insect trapped in the web and thereby attracts the resident spider to within striking distance. The luring predatory behaviour displayed by S. bituberus represents a form of aggressive mimicry. Wish you could have gotten a closer shot!
