Cool pic! Is that an assassin bug??? If not, it looks similar but I don't see the lance.

No idea what that little bugger was but he couldn't fly until his wings dried. While he waited, I shot.

Is that an assassin bug???

Not sure what it is, but pretty sure it's not an Assasin Fly. They look more like a dragon fly. I got a up close and personal view of one last summer while mowing on the tractor. He snatched a wasp out of mid air just inches in front of my nose, landed on the steering wheel and had lunch. Fascinating insects.

After further examination I would say it is one. It looks just like the one I got pics of eating a fly last year but I captured his proboscis (lance) in the pic. They shouldn't be handled, read this.
