Rostrom - Assassin Bug's Stinger

I think I like the assassin bug a little bit less after watching this video which shows how it uses its "rostrom": http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/monster-bug-wars/videos/monster-bug-wars-assassin-bug/ (You can see the rostrom on this nymph, who is spending day three since its discovery, below the sunflower bud it was parked on, because the bud is opening.)

Love the curve of the bug and the curve of the plant. Excellent shot of this beauty, and thanks for the video link! V

I doubt I'd like the video, and I know I don't like the look of this bug. But still, an excellent capture.

So it will stay for a while longer, Isabel.
