A Pseudobargylia Thread-legged Assassin Bug stalks and catches a butterfly
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.“
#809 - Pseudobargylia sp. - Brown Thread-legged Assassin Bug
Unlike other Thread-legged Assassin Bugs, this genus apparently not evolved to hunt spiders, and is a more general predator. A good number of species are wingless as adults, which is unusual for true bugs, but seems to have been a running theme in a number of my recent posts.
