Important!!! Please read the link! Red Bug > Assassin Bug Nymph

Wings ........maybe !?

note this: these red bugs are really cool!

Note this: These whitish dots or notches are cool looking as well....

You wanna fight? Fight me :p

Reminds me of the yellow scorpians I saw in the Negev desert. They look like plastic toys, but are highly lethal!

Note this: Amazing detail...

Important!!! Please read the link! Red Bug > Assassin Bug Nymph by Clickr_Flickr.

The length of these red bugs is about 1/2 inch.
The color is beautiful - but the the danger is painful!
Please read this carefully: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduviidae

Quotes:

Their saliva can cause irritation of the eyes and nose and temporary blindness in humans.

Entomologists report with a single attack from one assassin bug, lethal outcomes in humans as well as other large vertebrates.

The chemical compound of the lethal toxin is chemically structured of that to King Cobra venom.

Special thanks to "Seven Twenty Five" for the link!!!

Thanks for OldUncleMe, you're right!
Thanks for Jhaan, InsectHunter & all... Please be careful with bugs!

One of the great things about Flickr is that you get to see things, places and sights you might otherwise never see -- and that's exactly what you've done with this amazing close-up of these two insects. You've inspired me (and no doubt many other people) to learn about assassin bugs, and now we're one fact closer to winning on Jeopardy!

I got bit by one of these freaky bugs last week and I still have a huge, itchy whelp. It was excruciatingly painful, worse than a wasp sting. I put bleach on the bite and it relieved the pain a bit but.... so not fun!
