Hi Ron & All,
These are Hemiptera so are usually called Assassin Bugs not Beetles =
(Coleoptera). They move into our house every fall but I usually don't =
see them until they stagger out of the attic in the spring.

Subject: [NatureNS] Assassin Beetles + other notes
Has anyone else had an abundance of Assassin Beetles (Reduviida) =
around their homes lately?
I have rarely noticed them in the past but for the past 3 weeks there =
have been several on my house and decking. Kind of a creepy but =
interesting bug. Apparently some types of Assassin Beetles can inflict a =
nasty bite.
Have pics if anyone wishes to ID the variety..
On Sunday we had a vibrantly coloured but flightly American Lady =
Butterfly feeding on our remaining butterfly bush flowers. Haven't seen =
it since. Did get pics.
Had a Swainson's Thrush make an appearance in our woods yesterday. It =
was a calm bird allowing for easy viewing and a few mediocre pics.
