Spined Assassin bug (Sinea diadema)

Reveler Conservation Area

An unusual looking assassin bug which here has caught a small beetle. Assassin bugs are harmless to people, but are adept at catching other insects which is why gardeners often welcome them!

His looks match his name - not a friendly face for the beetle to see.
