A pair of orange assassin bugs (Pselliopus barberi) enjoy a spring fling among the golden ragwort (Packera aurea) blossoms. Despite an overhyped reputation for biting people (the wheel bug being the primary culprit), these fascinating insects don’t typically bite unless provoked or mishandled and are extremely valuable for pest control. So please, by all means, screw away in the lovely spring sunshine and deliver us a new generation of pest-killing ninjas. -- source link
