Acanthaspis quinquespinosa

After a shopping spree

Members of the heteropteran family Reduviidae are called assassin bugs because most species attack and feed on other insects.

A master of disguise, an assassin bug nymph coats itself in a sticky secretion, allowing it to cover its body with dust, debris and ants even as it remains hidden while stalking prey. This particular one was spotted on a wall, cleverly camouflaged beneath a layer of debris, bits of string and ant carcasses.
