Does anyone know what this bug spider thing is? I found him in MD over the weekend.
It's not a spider (which have 8 legs and only 2 body segments), but is definitely a very cool insect! I hope someone can ID.

It is one of the Assassin Bugs do not know specifically which one though
Assassin bugs have a sharp proboscis with which they drain the bodily fluids from other insects.
Did you happen to see if he attacked/killed the beetle? Interesting stuff.

I waited for a while but did not see it. I was outside with my 4 yr. old twin grandchildren and they had most of my attention. They were finding bugs for me, LOL.
