- Info The assassin bug lay in wait on a flower head (Eryngium sp.) then impaled a visiting bee with its strong proboscis (rostrum). It is now injecting venom-laced saliva to liquify the bee's internal organs. Nice. [The ant has photobombed the shot]. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 15:46, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
