#1561 - Stenolemus sp. - Thread-legged Assassin Bug
Another find by Cheryl Macauley, in Northcliffe WA.
This Assassin Bug is a predator of web-dwelling spiders, stalking them and if necessary luring them to the edge of the web by plucking at the silk. Quite the risky lifestyle, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Says Ken Walker: “This is one very slow or asleep lycaenid butterfly. The series of images was taken by Andrew Bould. Identification by Simon Hinkley and Mali Malipatil.“
