Description
Assassin Bug (Rhynocoris punctiventris)-Assassin bugs are appropriately named because of their habit of lying in ambush for their insect prey.Very fast and accurate, this bug uses its long "beak" to stab the victim and then inject it with a lethal toxin that dissolves the victim's tissue, then it sucks up the liquefied tissues through its long beak.

Wow... I'm glad I'm not its prey, yikes. Great shot, wonderful focus ^^ it looks about ready to assassinate your camera, haha

Impressive focus, but the image suffers for the thin DOF; you could easily have dropped to circa f/10 given the flash.

thank you, but I have to disagree with you, I don't think that the DOF is too shallow, it's face is inside the DOF and that's what was important (to me..)
A little more DOF for the front left leg would have been nice, but the conditions were not optimal
Shutter Speed:1/80 second
Aperture:F/7.1
Focal Length:105 mm
ISO Speed:400
And there was no flash, this is early morning natural light

My bad, I take back what I said. The image would still have been better for a little bit more DOF, but I misread the EXIF as saying 1/800 for the shutter speed which is why I said you would have been able to stop it down.

Beautiful. What's the background? The color is
perfect for the picture - just curious what is
so yellow in Nature? No criticism here - I use
whatever I have that works - just curious.
