Description: Photographs and description of these insect predators in the family Reduviidae.
Photo by Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University, Bugwood.org Compiled by Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University: Assassin bugs are equally capable predators, that can subdue large insects such as caterpillars and beetles. Most assassin bugs are elongate in form, have a pronounced 'snout' on the front which is the base for the stylet mouthparts, and are spiny. Despite their prodigious ability to dispatch most garden pests, they rarely become very abundant since they in turn have too many enemies of their own (mostly egg parasites).
