    YES! I've first seen photos of these brutal assassin bugs years ago, and all this time I was waiting for somebody to upload one here. You did it, that makes my day.

    Any chance of getting this one to species level?     Posted 7 years ago

        Sub-order is not that close, it still cover 40,000 possible species in this case :)
        Thank you though for trying to identify it as far as we can!         Posted 7 years ago
