Nice day for eating a close relative.
A Photo of a Brown and green assassin bug from above as it slurps on a fly snack. The Assassin Bug's body is slender and the top surface is brown and there are spines on the side of thepronotum, the area just behind the head . The underside of the body and the first part of it's legs are a pale green. The fly it is snacking on is black with red eyes.

Mombo Assassin Bugs just hanging out, looking for something to devour violently.
