Now here's an interesting critter. This is an assassin bug nymph. Because their bodies exude a sticky substance they can pick up lint, dust, other debris around the house, which apparently serves as a disguise. I've long wanted to see one of these odd creatures, but until last night, I hadn't. This was on a wall in my house and I had to take the photos quickly before removing him and putting him outside. The species is originally from Europe but is also common here now, particularly in houses, where most people never notice them. As Steve Marshall, author of a fabulous book on insects says, they are found in even the cleanest of households!
