Assassin bug (Reduvius sp.?) with ant prey. Didn't notice the ant at the time of shooting :D

assassin bug nymph with debris, dirt and ant carcasses on its back for camouflage. Think I saw a beetle elytra too! Believed to be of the same sp. too.

Trapped in a web while escaping from me. It got loose after only a while.
