Ok - just a quick post because I want to share this... I found this guy yesterday and had to get a couple photos of him. I had found a larger one a couple weeks ago, but wasn't able to get any photos.

This is an assassin bug - I believe a sub-adult.

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, 1/250 sec at f/22. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and wireless control. Image Stabilization on. ISO 160. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

I will share more about assassin bugs and their behaviors as well as the challenges I faced taking these photos at a later time.

Thanks for stopping by.
