Okay, so I was trying to get a better look at this bug's face and I was looking and suddenly I realized that it kind of looks like it has an assassin bug's stabby mouth part. But it can't be, right? Assassin bugs have a completely different body shape. Maybe it's just a tiny stripe near it's mouth. But then why does it have those mantis spikes on it's arms? It wouldn't need that for eating leaves.
So I looked it up and yeah, there are long, skinny assassin bugs. I feel like I've been lied to. I hate assassin bugs. They're the only ones capable of hurting my baby mantises. I'll throw it on the ground somewhere in the morning.
