Wikipedia
assassin bug
The Reduviidae is a large cosmopolitan family of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). Among the Hemiptera and together with the Nabidae almost all species are terrestrial ambush predators: most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic. The main examples of nonpredatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and a formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis.

assassin bug
An assassin bug is a type of predatory insect in the family Reduviidae, known for its aggressive hunting habits. These bugs use their long, sharp mouthparts to pierce their prey and inject toxins that immobilize and start digesting the prey from inside. Some species can be harmful to humans as they can spread diseases such as Chagas disease. They can be found in many different environments ranging from tropical regions to temperate climates.
