As if people needed another insect to worry about. For those who love the outdoors, summertime means protection from mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, and more. But now there is a new species to look out for, the assassin bug, and its numbers are on the rise in the southern United States. They can deliver painful bites when provoked and some can carry diseases.
What is an Assassin Bug?
There are different species of assassin bugs with different traits and physical attributes. Many are colored black or brown while others are red, yellow, or orange.

Hatchlings are called nymphs and have different appearances from adults.
