Family Reduviidae.

Reduviidae is a large, cosmopolitan family of predatory insects in the suborder Heteroptera. It includes assassin bugs, wheel bugs and thread-legged bugs. There are about 7000 species altogether, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera.

Physical characteristics.

Adult insects often range from 4 to 40 mm. They most commonly have an elongated head with a distinct narrowed neck, long legs, and a prominent, segmented tube for feeding (rostrum).

They can use their rostrum to deliver a painful bite which in some species can be medically significant.

Hi Paulo,

An interesting bug, I had not seen before.

I think that I should congratulate you for the excellent handling of light, which seems to have been very complicated.

Excellent performance, very nice and good shadow detail of the insect. good composition.

Thanks,

Jesús
