Assassin bug instar
Videonummer 11932294
| The bright colors of this newly molted white-eyed assassin bug (Platymeris biguttata) will darken in a few hours, but the two white 'eye' spots on its wings, and for which this species is named, will remain. This specimen's recently shed exoskeleton can be seen directly above it. Molting is a process during which insects shed their outer skin in order to grow in size. Assassin bugs get their name from the way they stalk their prey and have one of the fastest strikes in the insect world. They use their sharp beak-like mouthpart to stab their victims and to inject a paralyzing venom. The white-eyed species is indigenous to West Africa and typically reach a length of 2 1 2 centimetres. | |
